<VV> Windshields

[Frank DuVal]

No ones guarentees a used glass not to break. OK, you caught me, I 
haven't asked everyone! :-)  gggg

New glass for lates is commonly available in the glass warehouse 
distribution system.

Used glass can be chipped along the edge when it was removed, and a 
crack can run for these chips. This is why it is not guarenteed.

New glass has not been sandblasted for 100,000 miles, therfore the view 
is GREAT!
