Default How to verify original glass?

I just found out that my 69 has a kinda rare option:

Glass-Softray-all windows - A01 / 531 - 367 made in 1969

How exactly do I verify that all my glass is still the factory original?

Can anyone post a pic of what should be printed on the corners of the glass for this Softray option?

Thanks! Alex

What's the build date of the car?

There was a thread (or 2) on dating glass here.
(HFR probably has the link)

The date is 2 letters - 1st is month, 2nd year.

the year letter would be a 'V' if 1969 built.
I think if it is made in 68 for 1969 it may have a letter of 'X'?
(not sure of this)

Right in the middle of January 1969.

So I should have either X or V (since I could have Dec '68 glass). Then like A for Jan or L for Dec maybe?

Thanks, I'll see if I can find that thread....

I have no reason to believe all my glass is not original with only 51,xxx original miles, but like with my old 56 Vette, I'd like to document every P/N and date code on every piece of the car I possibly can over the next couple of years.

Found it:

Decoding dates on glass
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=774477

So I could have N or V for the month and either V or X for the year I'd think.

Thanks!

Alex
