Bad Luck

[Patrick-Irish]

On top of the fact that both my door mirrors were stolen recently I now have another reason for the car to go to the garage for repairs.

I had to break one of the rear door windows today. My 13 month old daughter likes to hold my car key when I'm loading her in the back and then she hands it to me when I get in. Neat ! But not when like today she pushed the lock button on the key while she was inside and me outside after closing her door.

She laughed and giggled at me while I said "push the button" at her to unlock it. No use .... finally had to break a window.

Anyway these windows. They like trying to break iron !! Very tough glass, even at full force with a hammer I couldn't break it. Finally got it by hammering a screw driver into the glass which punched a small hole, did not shatter the glass. There appears to be some kind of really tough plastic sandwiched between two coats of glass which makes it very difficult to break and while it does shatter it doesn't fall to little pieces like other glass. It tends to shatter but stay all in one piece due to this plastic.

What kind of glass is that the ? Some sort of double glazed effort ?
