I choose the PPG glass. The silkscreening, etc is identical. All that is missing is the "Made in Sweden" logo. For the US, windscreen lamination is mandated by DOT and all glass must meet minimum safety standards. Perhaps the Saab glass is better, but given the regulations, it is probably just another overpriced Saab part. For the record, my new windscreen has appeared to have not pitted as badly as the OEM unit.
