I didn't notice this type of glass on any of my previous range rovers. It appears to be two peices of glass with a laminate in the middle. It's only like this on the front???

Does anyone else have glass like this? Is it just on the 2007 onwards ones?

My November 05 facelift has the same.

as you said, its laminated..the other type would be toughened glass, my self i would rather the laminated,it stays togeater when or if cracked like a windscreen. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

yeah got it on mine 05 facelift SC

My 07MY has the Double Glazing too  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

It is laminated front (and possibly rear too) side windows that was introduced in the 06 MY vehicles to reduce cabin noise. 06MY 4.4 V8 Autobiography Cairns Blue with Navy & Parchment Interior

Yeah its just laminated glass, the downside being that when I got someone in to pull out a couple of dings on my last L322, one was in the door and he would have 'gone in' via the window glass area but wouldn't touch it because he said the glass has a tendency to shatter into a million pieces. Discovery 4 HSE

I thought this - however I think it's thicker glass and wont fit in the door  

I must have it the wrong way round then!

Surely for security purposes, it would be better if the side glass was laminated? Discovery 4 HSE

If your old one was pre 2006 then that would be toughned which turns to beads when broken. Your current one should be laminated.

I bet it would fit on the earlier car too, it's not much thicker than the old glass. I have noticed a noise reduction since my 2005 car. My Previous RR's!

Is it normal that my front windows are double glazed but the rears not?

If i remember right my fathers allroad had double glazing all around.

Mine are the laminated type 05 facelift se/ab

None are "Double Glazed"

The fronts are two pieces laminated together - there is no air gap. The lamination increases strength, but the main reason was to cut down on outside noise.
