Windscreen tint advice

[mantaJim]

Hi all

I've got a 6 inch crack in my windscreen right in my field of view from a middle lane Hogg on the M6 yesterday Autoglass are asking if it is bronze, blue tint or plain. My drivers and passenger window are blue (green ?) tint but i think the windscreen appears to be plain.

Can anyone offer any advice - the manufacturers "etching" on the passenger side says ... "LAMIPANE GGN DOT 23 NIPPON SAFETY AS1 NSG M411". A quick google hasn't turned anything up.



I wondered if the GGN might suggest green (blue ?).

Cheers

Jim

A piece of white paper held behind the glass should help confirm the various tints. On my previous Bongo I replaced the windscreen and was able to upgrade to a graduated blue / green tint at the top which was much better than plain.

Thanks Simon - that windscreen looks ace. I tried a yellow sweet wrapper behind the side windows and they looked a little green hence reasoning these are blue - there was no noticable change to the colour of the wrapper when held behind the windscreen hence my assumption it's plain. I quite fancy a blue tint to match the sides though.

Cheers

I had a green tint but was blagged by the insurance when it broke as the clear was in stock the green was on back order so thats how people end up with clear

That thought occurred to me too winchman - though in my case it would have happened in Japan as I am the first UK keeper of my van. I've just had another look and think its blue.
