How to Identify the Year of TSG Glass?
1 Answers
TSG glass year identification is detailed as follows: 1. Year representation: This format of date code consists of a single digit, which represents the last digit of the year. It can be determined based on the vehicle's manufacturing date. For example, if the vehicle was manufactured in 2007 or 2008, the glass year digit '8' would indicate 2008. The production dates of the glass and the vehicle typically do not differ by more than 10 years. 2. Dot representation: Dots before the digit indicate the first half of the year, calculated as 7 minus the number of dots before the digit equals the month. Dots after the digit indicate the second half of the year, calculated as 13 minus the number of dots after the digit equals the month. For example, 13-1=December. 3. Asterisk representation: Some glasses may have small black asterisk-like dots following the year and month code. These asterisks can indicate the specific week of the month: 5 dots represent days 1-7, 4 dots represent 8-14, 3 dots represent 15-21, 2 dots represent 22-28, and 1 dot represents 28-31. Note that in some years, February has only 28 days, so a single asterisk would not appear. Additional information: 1. If the production date of the windshield is later than the vehicle's manufacturing date or close to your purchase date, it suggests that the vehicle was previously involved in a front-end collision, resulting in windshield damage and replacement. 2. For vehicle glass distribution, the production dates of all glasses in a vehicle are generally similar. If the year on one piece of glass differs from the others, it indicates that this piece has been replaced.
