It means most, if not all glass shops will not install used glass.
Im sure a tint shop would tint the side glass, if there were no scratches :(

The mobile glass repair/tint person should be able to repair any nicks/scratches on your roadster's windshield/door windows.

The mobile glass repair/tint person will not have your Datsun windshield/door window replacement glass on hand. These are parts stocked by our vendors.

For example:
You can buy a tinted windshield

Yes, any auto glass repair person should be able to work on your roadster's glass like any other car. When it comes time to replace the glass on your roadster, that same person will not have a drop-in replacement on hand for you.

You can also have replacement glass custom made for you.
