Default Windshield tint?
I just got my windshield replaced and as I drive into the sun I am realizing there is no tinted shade at the top like with most windshields. I bought the car used and it already had a tint job done, so maybe they put it on then? Maybe the Corvette has no tinted strip at the top OEM? Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks in advance guys.

Never mind, piecing it together from YouTube, it looks like there is no tint to the upper border of the OEM winshield.

"Can someone shed some light on this for me?" Or, not...
