Is this oem side glass

[PbFut]

The side windows both have this marking. They are in a 72 GMC. The "soft ray" indicates to me, tinted. Compared to photos of green tinted vent windows I've seen, the tint on these windows seems very light. I need to replace the vent window but don't want to order wrong one.

Yes that is oem

[402Bowtie]

Agreed. OEM factory tinted glass.

[PbFut]

So if original glass, the vent windows match perfectly and either also original or a perfect match replacement to these side windows. The rubber, felt is missing or very dry and useless. The chrome is pitted. This truck will be a nice driver but nowhere near original resto. Do I....
Trade original glass for new green that appears darker to me. Prefer if it was darker in my S cal environment.
Or
Keep glass and find a good chrome section and rebuild. I don't care if it's original or not.
Cost is more of a driver that originality.

Old Soft Ray" glass isn't dark by today's standards.
Tint all the windows with the tint that matches your preference.

My original vent windows are mint short the rubber, but having someone install new rubber proved a hassle, so I just bought a pair off the parts board from Roger. He does a great job, good parts, and the tints match the roll-up windows even though they came from a different source.

Sure it would be nice to have the original vent glass instead, but odds are great the original roll-up glass are scratched anyway. At least mine was, thanks Charlie........so mint would mean it's no longer a match anyhow.

I wonder if the new tint appears darker because the old tint faded a bit. But this does appear pretty dark. I don't suppose it's the same material as the old stuff.
