RE: [T3] windshields

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

That's probably the same sort of effect as I'm talking about - all the other
windows are tempered (toughened) glass.  It's only the windshield that's
originally laminated, and then not all markets.  In quite a lot of countries
it is an extra (M 89 is the option code).  The rear windows are not
intentionally zone toughened.

On my US-spec '71 fastback, the rear window has a peculiar checkerboard
effect when seen from the outside thorough polarized glasses.  The light
areas have a fogged appearance, the dark clear.  I notice them on many fasty
back windows, but never on other windows (including windshields).  Perhaps
it's the installation angle that makes them look this way, or maybe those
are made differently.  Anyone else seen this?
