Vehicle glass

Vehicle glass is glass used to provide light access to motor vehicles. It includes windscreens, side and rear windows, and glass panel roofs.

Vehicle glass is generally held in place by glass run channels, which also serve to contain fragments of glass if the glass breaks.

Back glass is also called rear window glass, rear windshield, or rear glass. It is the piece of glass opposite the windshield. Back glass is made from tempered glass, also known as safety glass, and when broken shatters into small, round pieces. Windshields are made of laminated glass, which consists of two layers of glass, separated by a vinyl sheet.

Vehicle glass may contain heating coils or antennae.
