You're missing the point Sheppy.
If you have a standard mirror boss glass, it costs X amount. You call in and say you want one with a different mount it costs Y amount which gets billed to the insurance company. Autoglass don't charge for fitting - it's literally the cost of the glass they supply to the insurance company.
You saying that they've not fitted like for like is incorrect. They've fitted a piece of glass with the same mount which is classed as a like for like replacement. All windscreen glass is of the same quality as it is tested to the same levels and standards - there's no difference, it is up to 30% of the vehicle structure and your airbag won't function correctly with weaker glass.
I see what you're saying in that the glass is not GM stamped but the difference is literally the GM logo in the corner.
I'm not defending Autoglass as I didn't like the company when I worked for them & I have nearly 5 years experience in the insurance trade so I know exactly what I'm talking about here I promise you
