Default Windsheild date code question

I have been told that the date codes on a Mid year (65) windshield should be readable from inside the car.
Is that so? I thought that it should be read, (legible) from the outside looking in.
Come on John Z., I'm sure you would know.
Thanks,
Rick

Windshield codes are read from inside the car, and appear backwards when viewed from the outside.
