## FAQ

### What does your DOT approval cover?

We hold DOT approval for automotive and recreational vehicle glass and mark parts with the required legend. Tell us the glazing location and we'll confirm the right specification for it.

### Can you copy a broken lite?

Send the pieces or a template and we'll build the pattern. A first article goes out for fit before we run the quantity.

### Can you print our company name on the glass?

Yes. Your name and any branding go on in the same frit print as the DOT legend.
