Antenna
Some windshields or other windows have an antenna embedded in the glass.
If you're not certain about your part, call us to find out more.
Backglass
The rear window of cars and trucks. Note whether your backglass has an
embedded defroster, rear wiper, antenna, or brake light.
Bronze
A brownish color of window tinting.
Heated
A common feature of a backglass, but may also be applicable to windshields
as well.
Privacy Glass
A common feature of some mini-vans and sport utilities. Privacy
glass is considerably darker from the outside than the front door windows
and windshield. Privacy glass may also come in a choice of colors; blue,
green, bronze or gray.
Quarter Glass
A side window behind the doors. Be sure to note which side
of the vehicle the glass is on, and how many doors the vehicle has.
Shaded
Many windshields have a dark band of shading along the top of the glass.
A windshield can have shading that is the same or different color than
the rest of the tint on the window. A windshield that is shaded is always
tinted too.
Tinted
Most automobile windows are tinted, and the color can vary. Since the early
1980s when air conditioning became common in vehicles, nearly all vehicles
have come equipped with tinted glass. If you are uncertain of the tint
color of your glass, hold a white piece of paper up against an open window.
Common colors of factory tint are blue, green, bronze, and grey.
Vent Glass
A vent glass is located in a front or rear door. A vent window
may or may not be moveable. A piece of glass which opens, but is not in
a door is probably a quarter glass. If you are uncertain, please call us.
