I had the same problem with my '01 vert.

Follow the post as GEM insturcts. Don't change anything. I did it and my glass is near perfect. Don't change a thing. Good luck.

If you have full glass coverage on you policy and that back glass was chipped or cracked then your insurance co would pay to have it replaced, but since your glass isnt broken then they wont pay for just the repair. Always good to know!
