Laminated on a 627xx
- Thread starter jiminycricket

I’m in the glass industry. Laminated, or acoustic (which is laminated) are both correct terms. Double-paned is totally incorrect and could be downright dangerous/fatal in an automotive application if not tempered with vinyl baked in the middle, which makes it laminated. Going in circles

I WAS in the glass industry as well, worked at Guardian Glass so I know the correct terms as well

Great, we can let everyone know that double-paned glass is for homes, not vehicles haha.
We got 629xx and no laminated windows but for safety I prefer the ability to break them to get out of needed
we picked up our new 603xx yesterday and didn't expect laminated (and it didn't have them). There was another white Y also getting delivered and I looked at the VIN...62775 was his. I had him open the doors and NO laminated windows on front doors. So, if the OP in this thread has them with a 627xx car, his must either be higher than the one I saw or they are producing them randomly.
Really hope so! To me it doesn’t make much sense to only laminate the front door windows. I call this “only wiping half of your ass when you *sugar*” when doing something “half ass” Haha. But, at least they are even doing it!
I’m willing to bet they’re thicker than the tempered glass windows in earlier models. And is changing them out worth possibly voiding your warranty because you installed something that was not originally installed with your vehicle? I can almost bet Tesla would tell you they wouldn’t cover anything under warranty if the original windows weren’t in your car, and you say burned out the motor because the window motor wasn’t able to handle the added weight with laminated glass. Those non-laminated windows are much lighter than the laminated ones, and the windows motors COULD be different as well. As well as the trim pieces that surround the windows could also be different.
I learned about laminate vs dual pane from that first thread here.
I wasn’t expecting it because 628xx was reported without them here. But I think maybe this car had some work done on it. thou don’t see the window connection. There was a very shallow ding in middle of the metal(?) that runs on right side of roof, and the top glass had scraped on outside back, a scratch on outside back and a bigger back & forth scratch over passenger on inside. None bothered me except the passenger one a bit and laminated glass had me in good mood and rest of car was good so took it.
I ordered a caliper (they are $9) from Amazon, will report thickness late tomorrow. Back is obviously thinner looking than front but don’t have two different fronts to compare.

Great news, happy for you!
I have a 62xxx vin also. MSM, build date 10/18. What is your build date and color?
Taking delivery 11/7.
For all those that have the laminated glass, there are positives and negatives to having this glass on the front two windows.
Why knowing the type of car windows you have could save your life

This was MSM as well, do not know build date, picked up at Tyson’s in Virginia.
I measured the thicknesses, tool says .1mm resolution, .2mm accuracy. It was 3.9mm in back, 6.0mm in front.
So laminated front windows are 2mm thicker. Interesting!! Thanks for the info!!
