My car has a mix of "1", "2" and "9" then the glass I know has been replaced has "8" and "0".
Leading evidence: 'Replace car has a mix of "1", "2" and "9"' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace car has a mix of "1", "2" and "9"' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Still not too sure what pattern to go with as my glass is all over the place!
Hey all,
Question about the marking on the glass. I know what most of the markings mean but I'm yet to confirm the date marking and how it works.
Is the number at the bottom of the glass marking the year and the dots the month? I've read a bit online but can't find any confirmation.
I know my car has had a replacement drivers side glass so the marking is "8" and the rear windscreen is "9" so that looks like it may have been replaced at some point too.
However the rear quarter is "2" and the passenger front is "1" so now i'm not sure what is going on!
Any ideas? Other cars I've noticed usually have the year as one less that the cars year I.e. 2008 car i've seen has "7".
I have also noticed 3 types of markings too one with the Securit logo and then the next line in bold or the Securit line in regular then for newer glass there is no Securit "logo" its just text.
Anyway I know there will be some people who get this and some people will be asking why I care... I'm not sure why I just do
2 is in fact year of manufacture. Total of dots to left of the number is the month, dots total of dots to right of number plus 6 is month of manufacture
Thanks! Makes sense now.
Does that potentially mean that the glass on my 2004 may not be the glass it left the factory with? As "2" might be too old? It should be "3"?
Also what year is "9"? As my rear glass is "9" but has the older style "sekurit" script so it wouldn't be from "2009" as the marking style was updated in either 2005 or 2006 onwards.
Here is my right side glass:
Dating seems to be all over the place,especially with modern just in time parts from subcontractors to cut manufacturing costs. Also the right side glass is China certified where the other ones aren't.
Here is an open source on glass ,\markings that we use.

Thanks, I did notice the CCC must have been an addition after 2005 or so.
I really can't find a consistent pattern, some 2004 models have "9" most I have seen have one less than the cars year I.e a 2002 has "1" but there are very few 2004s with "3". My car has a mix of "1", "2" and "9" then the glass I know has been replaced has "8" and "0".
I used this as my source:
https://www.partssociety.com/search?...roduct&q=glass
This is difficult to follow:
"Number, month and year of manufacturing: the figure with points designates year, the sum of points to figure – month of manufacturing, the sum of points after figure – month of manufacturing + 6. In marking XINYI the top figure – year (9 => 2009), the sum of figures on the centre – month (1+2+8=11 => November), decimal number + the sum of remained figures below – the number of month (10+1+2+4=17)."
The figure with the points designates the year??
Agreed it is. I had to throw the question up to the lab rats over coffee here. 17 is the day of the month of manufacture in that example. The website is maintained in the Ukraine, a non native English speaking country, hence the error.
