Very True.. What they look for in the glasses is the number.
For eg:
Suppose you are planning to buy a car that was made in year 2001
every glass in the car wil have the " 01" ( this is the year of manufacture) right below the glass manufacturer logo. Now suppose the car meets with accident in year 2003 or glass was replaced for any reason in 2003 then the logo on that changed glass will be "03".
This is one surefire way to find out if any glass in the car was changed
