Are you serious ?
A made in china vanagon windshield ??
Windshields come 3 ways, clear, tinted, and shaded at the top.
They are *all* tinted slightly.
But one from china, you never know !

I picked up a new windshield for $100 at a disco auto glass place
today. Odd thing is... it has a light tint to it...anybody else seen
this? Its PPG glass for whatever that is worth. Made in China.
