The Chicago Auto Glass Group (CAGG) is calling on the auto glass industry to request that the National Auto Glass Specifications (NAGS) Inc. delay its rebalancing effort that is scheduled to take effect on January 10, 2005.

NAGS general manager Jesse Herrera has said his company still has some business to take care of before it makes a final decision regarding the timing of the rebalancing effort.

"We've gotten about 100 emails from retail shops asking us to delay the rebalancing effort. We've read all the e-mails and made note of who has contacted us and how to get in touch with them in the future if it is warranted. We will continue to speak with industry constituents through the remainder of the month in order to gauge the industry's readiness for the change. We've not made any decision to delay the January rebalancing, but we intend to reconfirm our plans to the entire market in early November," he said.
