Charley- Jim  no offence taken . see,  you learn something new every day specially at my age lol

Eddie, don't mean to be piling on, but it is not a law that side glass must break into zillions of pieces. Title 51 of the US Transportation Code says that it must not shatter into shards, but it does not have to shatter at all. Lexan (polycarbonate) and other materials are perfectly legal. In the EU, polycarbonate has been approved for windshields and the US is expected to do the same in 2018. Next year there will be polycarbonate windows in the new Mustang, along with an optional polycarbonate hood. Windshields are made using laminate because safety glass will not stand up to rocks. They would shatter all the time instead of just cratering or cracking.   

eddie:
ok then ,you won . reason why I said that we toss away lot of  glass in garbage bin when doors are replace and no matter how hard it wont break compare to windshields that a little tap and it cracks. so there must be different way of laminating?

Jim are you sure about the laminated glass ? can you name any? cause its a law ,glass  must brake in zilions pieces for easy exit during side impact .
so goes for rear glass. only windshield is laminated so it does not injured driver and next to him during collision.
ps I'm in Auto Body biz for 35 years never yet seen  laminated side glass and as you see on my post cars I've painted, from very high end cars to Huyndais
 but again I could be wrong , all I know in Canuck Land it's a law.
