Surprised not to see any comments about PPG selling all its Flat Glass operations to Vitro for 750 million.

Re: PPG Flat Glass

Hello IRA..... Haven't spoken to you in a while. I agree with you, PPG/PGW not making glass??? You and I remember when there was such a thing as quality out there. It's like a crap shoot anymore on a windshield as to whether it will fit correctly or not have distortions......... very frustrating
