OnStar-less windshield
Is there one available without the paint blob where on start turd mounts? I would imagine w/s for 2005 would have no blob... If I ever have to change the w/s, I wanna yank the OS crap out and bring in more light to the interior.

The paint blob makes a nice hiding place for a Valentine 1. Take the V1 suction cup mount and remove the cups, install it backwards with a couple of small self tapping screws and rubber grommets into the plastic trim above the windshield. After removing the Onstar box, of course.
Not concealed completely, but much better than other locations.

OnStar has a distinct solid rectangular blob where the antenna goes, thus, your windshield is different and this is a good thing. Thanks for checking it out, I will certainly keep this in mind when ordering a replacement. Hopefully yours does not cost more since it is one year specific windshield.

Ah ok, I guess I was confused here. All I have to do is specify no onstar and the windshield should be the one i want. I will be very happy when I finally get to yank out this box off my windshield, at least on one of the vettes.
