pontformulalt1 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm don't want a tempered windshield that is not what I AM asking as I have stated in the original post. I have concerns about the hatch glass breaking and was wondering how theycompared in strengthdo you want PSI number? as I stated they are not the same as to the reaction they have to impact. strength of glass is based on thickness just like most other materials. I use to be a windows and door rep so I know a good bit about this.thanks for the response..so you are saying there is no comparison as far as breaking point between the two? As far as the same flex scenario. If they were the same thickness put in the same flex scenario together with would break first being the same thickness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacomaguy1 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 You'd have to have some serious flex to break the rear hatch glass I've never seen that happen Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontformulalt1 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have about 2" roughly of flex its very hard to measure because of the obvious.. I already broke the polyurethane seal between the glass and hatch...the car can no longer be in rain because of this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the same flex scenario. If they were the same thickness put in the same flex scenario together with would break first being the same thickness if the 2 said pieces of glass were to be the same thickness, strength would be roughly the same just the reaction to the "breaking point" would be different. the laminated glass would have a slightly higher strength but nothing that you could see with what you're encountering. only thing I could tell you in your situation is to get that window tinted with a good window tint. reason being is b/c most car are made with tempered rear and side windows and laminated front windshields. if you tint that glass, no matter what %, you wont have a million pieces to clean out the back of your car. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontformulalt1 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have not been metered yet but very impatient to see what it does. I believe I'm hitting 130 db without knowing or have actually sat in a car that has been metered...I do have a concern when I change the build and get louder..if the hatch will shatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
