Replacement glass got here today ... luckily the wife and I were sitting on the porch when FedEx pulled up ... I ran up to the truck just as he was dragging it out of the truck and had let the far end drop from the deck down to the bumper and was about to let it drop to the ground.
I don't think English was his first language ... I said .. Let me give you a hand with that and grabbed the end hanging out of the truck ... he just stepped aside and watched ... I motioned for him to grab the end still on the truck and we carried it to the porch. I asked him to wait for me to open it up and look at it .... he walked back to his truck and stood next to it and watched ... really strange. Saturday delivery guys don't seem to be the cream of the crop.

Glass looks plenty clear and optically good. But I was disappointed it was made in China, and really thin. OEM was 0.285" .. this one is 0.188. I'd imagine the smallest impact is going to crack it. So PPG or none of the US makers produce glass for our vehicles anymore?

It's fits and is sitting the frame right now ... so I guess the drama is over unless I break it
