Car window glass use to be 2 thin layers of a glass sandwich with a thin plastic layer in the middle. If this is still the way its made then fusing is not an option..

Car WINDOWS are tempered....... car windshields are laminated.

Windows good to fuse

Windshields NOPE

Thank you for your answer and sorry for the late response (waiting on a mail that there was a post, but that was in the paste !) But do you have a schedule for fusing and slumping this glass (or is that the same as "normal" window glass) ?? Jan de Jong (from Holland)
