It has this on the very bottom of the windshield info block on the lower driver's side, they expect you to be able to read Egyptian:

Ah brilliant Dogpilot thank you so much, I had originally assumed this icon mean't it was manufactured by a drunk clown but you are right it appears the Solar windshield did in-fact make into my build.

Actually in the lower nile area, the hieroglyphs do actually translate to drunk clown. In the upper nile it is solar guard.

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing both types of windshields. After my first solar windshield cracked, the dealer mistakenly replaced it with non solar. I noticed the difference and they agreed to get the right replacement, but I drove around with the non solar for a few months waiting for the right one to come in. Big difference in heat in the cabin, and I had to wear sunglasses even on overcast days where I didn’t with the solar. For the money, it’s worth every penny. Not legal to tint windshield in my state, so this is the only way to cut down on heat and light and still pass annual inspections.

It might be better, but didn't stop the New Mexico sun from melting my Valentine One cord and suction cups
