Bronze or Green??? I've only heard of the Green and Blue tints. At least those are the only two options I had when I replaced my windshield.

I was searching for bronze for the longest time. A few replacement shops said they had it, but non actually carried them. All said they were out of production.

I believe any bronze tint strip on stock windshields is actually a blue strip that has faded. I don't think any US models actually came with a bronze strip. Sucks... I really want bronze!

Actually, the way it was described to me is that the tint is in the actual glass, not particularly the strip at the top. I could be wrong, but the reason I say this is that the option for green or blue is available on all the windows, leading me to believe it's the actual glass itself that has a subtle greenish or blueish tint to it. When my passenger side door glass was broken out it was replaced with green cause that's the original color. I asked my glass guy friend to get me a blue tint windshield and he said, "the rest of your glass is green, it probably won't look right." I told him I was gonna get it all tinted, so he said, "Ok, well then it's probly ok." So I got the blue windshield. It really doesn't make a lot of difference unless you're around auto glass enough to notice it.

Remember, I could be wrong, but my friend has a lot of experience and I think I understood him correctly.

On a side note, I also asked him if I could get a windshield with no tint strip across the top at all, since I was getting the top tinted with 50% tint at another friends' shop. He told me there was no option for a windshield with or without a strip, all of them have one. This is OEM PPG glass, I don't go for that wavy mexican made crap. Watch out for cheap aftermarket glass!

hmmm... 12 years still means that it was exposed to the blasting sun (you were in Florida before, right?) for a number of years. Of course, I could be wrong as well, and it may have existed!

Yes, I believe you're right. It is in the glass, not something added afterward.

Clear glass was another option that was given when I had mine replaced... but I was told that it also wasn't made.

Sucks!

True Deev .. true.

But I have always noticed, since the very begining the bronze tint ..
The car was bought in GA. and it was garage kept all those years.
I then drove it to FL... and then here out on the west coast .. and to be honest,
I haven't noticed any difference in all this time in terms of fading, or it getting lighter ..

Then again .. I raised my chocolate malinese since a kitten, and never notied her growth ..
