Thread: Numbers

Hey everyone
Ya I'm new here andi have a question. On my 04 gtp there are numbers all over the parts of the car; sun roof, lights, interior parts, windows, etc.
Iv never seen this before. what are they? what are they for?
I googled the numbers and got nothing.

any help would be great.

thanks in advance!!

Are they acid etched into the glass? It's kind of like a theft recovery system. Those numbers are unique to your car, and if it were stolen, even if all the VIN plates were taken off the car, they could still ID it as your car...or parts of your car through all the glass.

The reasoning behind it is that glass can be expensive to replace in the whole car, so people might not be as likely to destroy all of it if the car is taken and chopped up.

on the glass they are ingraved into it. all the egine components look to have it ingraved by hand. I mean everything has the same number on it. i think in one way it is kool, but as for details it sucks.

thanks Reptile

hmm...im wondering if these "numbers" are actually the VIN? or maybe the production numbers that are on the part that is manufactured

usually they are the vin

Is there a site that i can go to to type in these numbers?

Also is there a site that i can go to and put in the Serial number to find out any work that has gone one with this car?

My quess is i have to go to the dealer for this. Id like to find out if any work has been done to this car. It goes like hell. and the gas millage @100km/hr really sucks. 22m/gal on the hiway.

I can pull up a service history on pretty much any GM vehicle in the last 10 years or so.
