When I bought mine it was cracked (both my old and new X) and I wanted the OEM Superduty glass without the blue tint at the top and the words "Superduty" in the center. The glass doesn't fit per their computers so you have to just have them order it and pay in advance. It's an OEM Ford windshield so no thin or wavy issues 
~~~~~~~OH!!!! One last thing, you CAN haggle with them! It took me 3 days, and me calling 3 different windshield places getting quotes but in the end I saved about $100. I went with the first place I called but they ended up calling me back a few times and every time dropped their price a few dollars more. ~~~~~~

DW1522 is the part # with the scrim and the logo in it.
Had one in the truck until recently and replaced it to one with out.
I did find that the rear view mirror button is placed a little higher on the logo w/s for you will have to trim the plastic pc that covers your r view mirror wires, or just not use it.
google pics. lots of them out there.

It has been several years, i think it was an additional $300, which i did not mind paying because they did a few steps to insure no more rust. Windshield is being pulled out and changed as I am wrapping the Ex and want wrap well behind the seal, not just tucked. So I will be able to check to see if there is any rust.

My Ex 7.3 leaked water into the GEM module, anti theft, and fuse box. Massive issues drying out and finally got it all working. First step after I got it all back working was go to safelite pull windshield and resealed. They cleaned all the corrosion treated the windshield frame used proper sealant, cleaned the windshield to insure good seal and gave a life time warranty. I drove yesterday in heavy rains with no issue. They did tell me if the windshield broke during the work I would to pay for another. I parked the truck in the sun to warm the windshield before I took it to them Took them about 3 hrs working on the truck to do the work, they did a fantastic job. I would only buy a windshield if during the reseal it broke.
