tinted for safety
i was just reading the OH DEER post before and thinking how lucky i am not to get shards off glass out of my eye bc a deer shattered my window.....i ALWAYS tint all of my windows and when clueless friends of mine ask why i say bc of #1 privacy...#2 bc it will save my eyes one day by keeping all of the shattered glass in one big peice then inside my eyelids........does anyone else have this same train of though?

RE: tinted for safety
dude, you kno that all cars are made so that the glass can withstand an impact and not shatter into your face, some better than others, however, there is not way, just like the guy abover me said, that tint wil hold glass together. IT was probably the tint that made u not see the DEER!

RE: tinted for safety
i must disagree, i had a mini van that i had the windows tinted (5%) , gave it to my sister she was rear ended, rear window shatterd and i was able to pick 85% of the glass up in one piece. no glass went past the rear seat, i was really surprized that the tint held together that well. so in saying that , yea it could be used as a safety point IMO

RE: tinted for safety
glass is made that way. its made to not shatter completely. There is something in the glass that holds it together. the tint sounds like a ridiculous idea, and from a logical perspective it only would help if you were going 3 miles an hour into a horizontal object. but even then, the glass wouldnt break.
