67 Remote view mirror glass date code
preaction:
I looked through the library's car glass date code info and unfortunately remote rear view mirror glass date codes were overlooked. The date code on the mirror in question reads 2-DMI-7 normally I would read this as month first then year, 2- February and 7- being 67 since this came from a 67 built (4/28/67) car. The reason Im asking about this is the person I talked to about this interpreted the date as year first and month second, 2-72 and 7-july. I hope Im right thanks Paul. ;)

I believe it is a Feb 67 date code . I know some restorers that will take a correct dated glass and transfer it to another body.

I have done it, not easy but do able. Worth the effort to have a correct date coded glass.

Would not confirm. Why?
Because I have a mirror 4 DMI 3. Would mean April 63 according to above. But can't be. The mirror has the shape of a 67/68 car.
Even year first, month second doesn't make sense to me.
Imho there must be another specification behind.
Thx Ralf

I'm NOT an expert on decoding glass or mirror dates but it seems that the "decade" of production of these items is not coded into the date code so if your "decoding process" is correct, it could be possible the one you are looking at is a Service Replacement part.
