Z06 Windshield Info
Just wondering what other people's windshield says because apparently there are a couple different factory windows
Here's what mines say:
43R-008008
SHADED HUD 4.8mm
SOLAR RAY
SAFETY FLO-LITE
ASI AP TECH.
LAMISAFE
M534 DOT-376
Some other people have this one:
43R-009047
SHADED HUD 4.8mm
SOLAR RAY
SAFETY FLO-LITE
ASI AP TECH.
LAMISAFE
M534 DOT-376
They are nearly identical in markings but I wonder what the difference is due to the number next to 43R.

After 4 years on my Z, the widshield was so pitted it was hard to drive on a sunny day without sunglasses, especially if the sun hit at just the right angle. A truck recently did me a favor. I was considering replacing it, but a kicked up rock cracked it and I got new one for my $100 deductible. If anyone needs a windshiled make sure the glass company replaces it with a factory part, not an aftermarket. I had no problem with the place that replaced mine. The windshield cost $900.

[QUOTE=z06dailydriver;1559548165]My 02 C5Z (built Sept 01) has 8008 M534. I am the original owner and the windshield is original.
Is it me or does the windshield seems more susceptible to sand pitting.[/QUOTE
