Modern windshields have many options, some can be seen others are a little more obscure. It is always great to have your vichel’s serial number or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). VIN is an abbreviation for vehicle identification number, which is simply a 17 characters serial number dedicated to every motor vehicle by the automotive industry. This 17-character string of letters and numbers, excluding the letters Q (q), I (i), and O (o) to avoid confusion with the numbers 0 and 1, provides specific details about the vehicle’s manufacturer, model, year, and place of production, without intervening spaces. Each section of the VIN offers distinct information about the vehicle, including the make, model, year, and the serial number. This alphanumeric code, typically found printed in a single line on the vehicle’s chassis or documents.

How to Find the VIN Number

Finding your vehicle’s VIN is straightforward. Here’s where to look:

  • Passenger Cars: Check the front of the dashboard on the driver’s side. View it from outside the vehicle through the windshield. Also, inspect the driver’s side door pillar—open the door to find the VIN where the door latches.
