Laminated driver front glass

[crownvic05]

looking for a front driver side door glass. Must be LAMINATED. this was a add on feature. Normally came out starting in 2003.

Not sure if this was an option in marauders but, if any one comes across this, please let me know.

Thanks

Was not an option. Highly doubt you'll find it anywhere.

"Laminated glass, which is two layers of plate glass with plastic laminate in between, is used on automotive windshields. It has been used for decades to keep objects from easily getting through the windshield and entering the vehicle, not the other way around. In fact, I have seen more than one hapless unbelted occupant of a vehicle propelled fully through a laminated windshield.

Safety glass, which is designed to shatter into very small pieces, is used on side windows in cars. This type of glass is easy to shatter should you need to make a hasty exit from the vehicle, and that’s a key reason it’s put there. It also shatters into small pieces with very little “sharding,” reducing the opportunity for serious injury from broken glass.

Laminated glass requires a special saw to get through. With 12 years of experience, it still takes me five minutes to saw through a car windshield. If your car is on fire you’d prefer safety glass for this reason alone. Laminated glass also causes serious head and facial injuries to those who do full face-plants against the windshield despite seat belt warnings. It will have the same effect in a side window if an occupant is unbelted.

Some automakers are putting laminated glass in the side windows of high-end cars, but this trend should be viewed with great caution. This type of glass does prevent people from “popping a window” to escape from a vehicle in an emergency situation. Two examples of emergencies of this type are vehicle crashes with resulting fires and accidents where a vehicle ends up partially submerged in a body of water. In both cases, the electrical system will likely short out and will prevent easy exit since nearly all cars now have power windows.

I really cannot believe this theory about auto glass even got past the laugh test, never mind into the jury room. Automotive glass should not be used to keep people in the vehicle. Using automotive glass as a backup safety feature would do more harm than good. Seat belts are to keep you in the vehicle, not windows. In fact, I much prefer glass that breaks easily."

It was an option on crown vics starting in 2003 to about 2006-2007. Very few got this option. My 05 is equipted with this all around. As well as my brother in laws 2006 p71. Its difficult to find this glass used because not many p71 received it. Dealer has the glass for over $400.00. I cant see myself paying over $400.00 for a glass. I just want the laminated feature which from dealer was a $300 option because my car came equipted with it. OCD I guess.

I assume you do know a CV is different than a Marauder.......

If you don't want to pay over $400.00 for the glass then I guess you don't really have OCD :D

You'd probably get close to the same protection with a good window tint.

There was actually a p71 in a junk yard when I went on Monday and it had the Laminated glass but the glass I needed was cracked. I did pick up a replacement Tempered glass for $15 bucks. Havent installed it yet as im waiting to see if I can locate one. Tints are a must in all my cars.

Ok I'll bite, what's the difference between marauder and cv glass?

The laminated glass that was available on CV's and not MM's. Probably because CV's were available to law enforcement.

I thought you meant the glass itself was different, meaning you couldn't t use cv glass in a marauder......

Laminated glass was available in the grand marquis as well.....

Only if they have the "cop chip" and a "Police Interceptor" badge.

Yes it was, I remember it being an option when ordering my fathers 2006 Marquis.
