    Called them up and ask if there side glass is laminated. Got I don't know??? OK so find out!! It will take a few days. I have been to the place. You can see the warehouse thru the showroom glass. GO LOOK!! Claim to have restoration parts. Truck came with Laminated glass, right!! Ordered anyhow thinking it should be correct, they sell restoration parts, right!! WRONG I have a tempered glass in my garage. You ever see what happens to tempered glass when it breaks!! Called and left message since they can since a complaint call. NO RETURN CALL YET. Called them Wed. at 3 PM. Got my money now no help.I drove up tp KC and spent 600 bucks a couple weeks ago.If it weren't so far I would love to stick this glass up someone's well you know where. VERY VERY DISSAPOINTED!!!

    The Gray is laminated I dont know abont the clear or green. For 30$ each replace them all with tinted. Rule of thumb ifs its flat its laminated.

    tempered glass

    All cars made and sold in the USA have tempered glass installed in all windows except the windshield. Tempered is safer ih side windows.

    The Highway Safety Board made it a law sometime in the 60's.

    Use the tempered and be glad.:)

    You all have very valid points. I have all laminated NEW glass in my truck. It says laminated on it etched in the glass. Now I have a odd glass. If the others didn't say laminated it would look OK. Also with the laminated the glass could still be used. Didn't fall out, still roled up and down. I drive my truck everyday. Any how I found a glass shop about 30 minutes away that will cut me one. Said he woul use the corner of the glass that says laminated to match my others. Cost 40 bucks.
