Windshield date codes
I believe I've got the windshields decoded but the previous "Thread M44?" I doubt will get much traffic so I'll just add the dates and information here!
The M44 I believe is an LOF style identifier and the date code is in the line above and to the right and a two letter code. Mine is GJ and from some previous glass ID's it seems the G is month which using previous decoding should be April. I've not confirmed the year yet with the J but I'm close!
Month codes likely:
January N
February X
March L
April G
May J
June I
July U
August T
September A
October Y
November C
December V
I believe I've got the year codes:
1990 - G
1991 - J
1992 - A
1993 - Z
1994 - X
1995 - V
If your code doesn't match these I believe I've got it figured out and could likely date the manufacture of your replacement glass. Could a couple people confirm their codes with the information I've posted. It could be in error but I'm quite confident. I'm sure you'll let me know!

Are you saying that if the area above and slightly right of the LOF number (M44 in this case) is blank (no numbers showing) it is a '94 or '95 produced windshield?

Large production runs
I've never had a NCRS manual in my hands and I just extracted what I believe correct information from some previous LOF production broadcasts.

No, the NCRS manual only covers 90-91 cars. They included the 92-93 codes, but the 94-95 were left blank in the book.

Service glass
Extending the production information I would assume yours is a "service glass" from March of '97. Do you know if it is a service glass and has been replaced?

What size window is in your glass? That could be an indicator of the delamination problem that never seemed to go away. There were very large runs of original production in '91 that left inventory available into '93 MY. Interesting! It might be interesting to see how far into the '93 MY the GJ production run goes. Some '94/'95 information would be interesting as well. What size window is in your glass?

I still need a source or reference for all the small trim/sealer pieces. My local dealership doesn't know squat.
