I once got into a road rage incident with a drunk driver one night who threw not one, but 2 beer bottles at my glass. Both the rear quater glass, and the window glass were fine. And for rocks from gravel trucks, I've only gotten 2 nicks in the glass that can be easily repaired. An interesting aspect of the glass is that it appears to be coated with something. Unless this is something unique to my car, if you look at the glass from an angle in the sunlight, you can see what almost appears to be a "webbing" over the glass. It's not tint, because my windows are neither smoked, nor dark. I always assumed that this is what keeps the glass so strong. -Robert vin 6585 "X"
