apologies if this is in the wrong section, but I have some paint issues along the top of the windscreen on a 2005 Blob sti, I was told by a bodyshop that when the windscreen was changed there was scratches caused to the bodywork causing the paint imperfections and rusting.

The question I have, is do Imprezas from the factory have the Chassis number etched on all windows? If so then the window is standard but I would like to know before forking out £400 for paintwork which I might not need to do.

Cheers

 

Well this is a hard one as most iv seen so far have had a small plaque type thing attached to the dash rarther than etched into the window ,,,but my mate just changed his on his bug and it was etched into the window so iv seen both ?

 

Normally it wouldn't be on the window it self. But it is some practice.. Is your windscreen a oem one ? It will have subaru etched on to it? 99% of the time you will not get a dealer replacement screen. Just a oem quality one...

 

Impreza's are really common for this ive seen loads some as new as 08 plates

 

mines has just started rusting along the back window, i think its when last owner had rear tints done they scratched just have to get it painted before it gets worse, mines a 07
