it was the end of the windshield but i did cut it through the bend of the glass on the end which isn't as easy as flat glass. i was installing a new one in that colorado truck so i thought i would cut the used one down. the used one was a quality piece of glass however not a cheap ass chinese one like safelite glass sells and it does make a diff!!

That is FACT. The S-10 ones I used were from a safelite distributor. I asked them if I could select which ones I took the second time down. They just laughed,said of course,then showed me the pallet loaded with rejects to be discarded. They told be installers reject about 10% (50-60 a week)of all windshields they sell. Rejects are just discarded.Definitely from China or at least from some chicken scratch alphabet country................... thumb down

flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

I have learned also that some of the Chinese windshields are just not able to be cut down due to all the internal stresses in the glass which is due to being shitty made.
