How does this work? When I look at car windows with double glazing I can't see anything different.

I need to be infront of you with a pen and paper so that I can draw some nice pictures for you.

Here goes in a text form.

Imagine a normal side glass, it sits slightly in from the outer frame, then on the outside (or inside depending on the car) of that normal piece stick a smaller piece with the gaps made by the adhesive. So from the outside they look pretty normal appart from a black obscuration band hiding the adhesive.

I'll have a dig through my favorites and find some diagrams.

For Morris Travelers you can have the genuine wooden ones, or horrible UPVC?!

More importantly, what's the point? Is it supposed to reduce noise or is it just a gimmick to sell more cars?

Hi

My sis's S class MB's got Dg - keeps down the noise from the riff raff in the outside environment - keeps in heat and keeps out the cold.

If i bought a new car and it was a cost option that cost more than ten quid, i wouldn't bother.

all mB's have heat insulating glas, just like my humble c class.

Thanks
