Default Windshield replacement

Hey guys, so I got a big rock chip in my windshield from driving on the highway and got on the phone with my insurance company.

They outsourced the work to this glass company that is very reputable in the NE area. This replacement isn't costing me a cent because I have zero deductible on my entire insurance policy.

Now here's my question...
The windshield that I had on my car had a very well done, wide tint strip along the top of the windshield that might have even been factory.

It also had the running pony logo in the bottom middle of the windshield.

The company that is doing it right now outside in the parking lot where I work, got me the safelite one with the tint strip, but apparently if you get the tint strip, it doesn't come with the pony logo, and if you get the one with the pony logo, there is no tint strip.... :/

So, is there some way I can complain or get that logo on my windshield?

just get the one with the pony, then get a tint shop to give you a strip. it will cost you probably $15

Yeah. I can't decide whether I like it or not. The tint strip that I had before had to have been done by a shop, because this one has a tint that fades into the clear of the glass.

I think it is an OEM windscreen, though. Do you think it's too late to tell them I don't want it? The guy did it while I was working inside.

He broke this, too while doing it.

I guess he's coming back to my place of work again in 2 days to replace the part free of charge.
