Fragile Windshield

Isn't Safelite the company that manufactures many of the OE windows and windshields for many cars?

No. I can't remember the manufacturer but shortly after having Safelite change the shield on my Gen 2, I took the Toyota Purchasing Manager out for lunch. He noticed right away that the windshield had been replaced. (Blew me away.) Aside from the small printing on it, I never noticed any difference. The Toyota purchasing guys REALLY know their products.

I could swear I see that name (safelite) on many car windows. Yeah, I notice stupid crap like that...

Not sure if yours is the same, but the OEM glass in my car has Toyota written on the corner, along with a big fat Toyota sticker on the other-side. If all the OEM glass is like that then it would be easy to tell that it was replaced...

one time a 50 lb dumbell struck my old civic's front windshield and the old thing shattered, does that mean the windshield is defective? :P
