More than VIN-Etching

Why Window Etch Work!

Window etching provides a permanent, high-visibility theft deterrent, and DotGuard’s solution makes this simple but powerful measure seamlessly effective. By engraving a unique, VIN-linked identifier directly onto the vehicle’s glass, it broadcasts traceability and ownership at a glance. This highly visible etch discourages opportunistic theft and resale, as removing etched glass is costly and conspicuous. Law enforcement and buyers can instantly verify the vehicle's legitimacy, tightening the net against black-market activity. For dealerships, window etching adds long-term value with minimal overhead—no adhesives, no electronics, just proven prevention. With DotGuard’s etching program, every pane becomes a quiet guardian of security and peace of mind.
