So is there more than one supplier now?

But I'm guessing that currently it's either Saint-Gobin Sekurit, Pilkington, or Flachglas glass as OEM.

(I used to be into VW buses. Authenticity is a big issue: http://www.dropgates.com/y2y/glasslogos.html In the middle of the page you'll see the Sigla GmbH logo, which is identical to cy7878's windshield logo)
