Default C7 Door Window Glass Trivia

I personally saw something today that I had yet to see on a C7 and thought it would make an interesting trivia question. The question is:

What is printed in approximately 1 inch lettering on the C7 driver side and passenger side door window glass on all C7s?

Yes, if you own a C7, it is still in fact on your door window glass. The printed text is about an inch or two below the GM print on the lower rear corner of both windows. What is actually printed there?


UPDATE

Well, I finally took a door panel off my Stingray and remembered to take a photo of the answer to my trivia question. And I now know for certain that my Coupe indeed has the right windows in it.

Yours may say that, but that's NOT what the window glass vendor put on it.

You'd really have to do some tearing into the door panel to see it once the door panel is installed. Here's a hint...four letters on some and five on others.

This would have to be the answer. Note that the top rear corner of a coupe glass is almost square while a convertible glass is more rounded. Maybe the big lettering is to help the BG Assembly guys to choose the correct glass on Monday mornings after a wild weekend.

Most will never see it, but it's printed that way in all capital letters.

here's something a lot of you may not know.............or maybe you do: On the back hatch glass there are hundreds of C7 crossed flags, getting closer together until they make the blacked out portion of the glass towards the roof.

I have a convertible, so pics would be nice to see, if this is true. There is a lot of sarcasm, here, so sometimes it's hard to tell. On the C6, they were just dots.
