Default How to check Solar attenuating windscreen is installed?

Hi

If anyone has installed the solar attenuating windscreen, I would be interested to know if you can recognise this from the outside. Is there anything printed on?

I do not have the solar windscreen and I have that little icon (mentioned in the post above) on mine, so this little icon is not indicative of the solar attenuating windscreen. Solar Pilkington is different from what LR calls Solar Attenuating...

Even the regular windshields are considered solar by Pilkington (heated w/ HUD also in my case) have this icon below:



The dead easy way to tell solar attenuating windscreen on a new LR including Defender -- 1) it looks purplish when viewed from in front. 2) There are 2 little clear cutout areas on either side of the rear view mirror. Mine is clear glass and does not have the cutouts. Not solar attenuating.
