How to Check the Vehicle Year from the Windshield Number?

[DelLucy]

For example: "8", the number 8 indicates the year, meaning the vehicle was produced in 2008. If the dot is before the "8", it indicates production in the first half of the year, and if the dot is after the "8", it indicates production in the second half of the year. Below are detailed explanations regarding the windshield number: 1. Date Explanation: When comparing the production date on the windshield with the production date on the vehicle's nameplate (a small plate located on the left or right side above the front wheel when the hood is opened), the windshield's date must be earlier than the nameplate date. 2. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The VIN, also known as the vehicle identification code, is a set of seventeen alphanumeric characters. This code serves as the vehicle's ID card. Each vehicle has its own unique VIN. The letters and numbers in the VIN represent information such as the vehicle's production region, manufacturer, production year, model, etc.
