Query about windscreen.... Are there 2 types?
I have the double glazing option in mine - and Audi said there is only one - but wasn't too sure? In the Q7 brochure it says:
VW8 - Double glazing. Windscreen and side windows in 2-layer laminated safety glass, connected to each other by a plastic film. Improves insulation against outside noise and break-in protection
Anyone know? Trying to replace existing cracked front windscreen.

Here in the USA, double-glazing of the windscreen (windshield) is federal law. The VW8 option code sounds like the side windows are also double-glazed (laminated glass). Again, here in the USA, federal law only requires the side windows to be tempered (heat treated for strength). I'm sure the windscreen is laminated.
