Subject:German, Chinese and American Parts

I noticed from the Rock Auto thread that some believe most parts are made in
China? For modern production car glass that might be true but I bet that
Vanagon replacement glass is probably made here in the USA. Actually, a lot
of things are made here - we still do more manufacturing than China today.
All of the high volume low cost comes from China.

Oh, and on the German Parts comment? You'd be surprised at how little of
your Vanagon is German! And for proof, pull one of your front wheel
bearings. If it's original it will be stamped "Made in Japan".

Thanks, Tom Hargrave
