PPG windshields

So, I just learn that it's easy to put a crack on your windshield while driving 90+MPH.

Anyways, is the original mazda windshield manufactured by PPG? I found a place that will replace my windshield with a PPG brand and they say it was from a Mazda dealer. Since its from the dealer, it would be the original one right?

Just want to make sure because I do not want a blue tint on the top of the windshield (blocks my view since the car is short and my line of sight is near the top). And I'm afraid the one without the blue tint will not have the black dots on top of the mirror (so mirror will not get refraction, reflection, whatever the term is).

I have a PPG replacement windshield with no problems (i.e., exactly like stock). I do not think the original was PPG.

That's good enough for me. And I think the ppg one would be higher quality; the only persons I knew that have cracked windshields are from mazda cars.
