The short answer
Year, make and model may not be enough. The same vehicle can have several windshield part numbers based on production date, body style, trim and factory options. A proper parts check should begin with the VIN and then confirm the equipment physically present on the vehicle.
Relevant differences may include a forward-camera bracket, rain or light sensor, head-up-display interlayer, acoustic laminate, solar or infrared coating, heated wiper area, full heating grid, antenna, mirror mount, humidity sensor, shade band and special moldings. ROLAGS calls these value-added features and warns against repair where a feature could be harmed. AGRSS similarly requires replacement glass compatible with affected ADAS. A windshield that fits the opening can still be the wrong specification. Before ordering, mention any dashboard projection, lane-support camera, automatic wipers, heated glass or unusual tint, and provide photos of the mirror area and etched glass markings when possible.
