I need a new windshield. Has anyone had a good or bad experience with Chinese windshields?

Many have commented on fit, making me wonder if some have found bad fitting glass.
On one of my cars, I am less than impressed on the fit of the glass.
But for all I know, the car could have been rolled and the glass could be the best part?
I just went out to look at the logo. Solex Duplate, PPG. It also had what looked like DOT approval.
I am thinking for $200 this "Chinese glass" is worth giving a shot.
Any thoughts, if what I have in there is " bad fitting glass" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I wouldn't think a PPG windshield would be a poor fit. I've never heard of any issues with those but I don't think they.'really made anymore.
