Question

Just had a quote from Pentagon to replace my windows for their tinted Superglass versions.
£425 + vat (Clear Super Glass) or £495 + vat (Tinted Superglass).Anyone out there using Superglass?
Cheers,
Mark.

Mark - drop me an email, I can put you in touch with someone who can do this considerably cheaper!

Re your question, well it does work, it will keep the window intact if someone tries to smash it, thus making it difficult for the thief to get in, but due the lack of a top to the window frame they could effectively peal the window open once smashed.. so i've heard anyhow.

Rgds, Alex

Waste of time on frameless windows - I was told that by Pentagon themselves when I was having the windows on my wife's car tinted.

She wouldn't have hers done in Superglass as she's been paranoid ever since she saw a TV programme about how many people per year drown in their cars after leaving the road. She's now got a little hammer thingy fastened to her door trim - but that's a whole different consideration.

I had mine done by Alexs recommended people...

Suffice to say that by punching the window as hard as I could I simply got flex and no shatter! I then took a crow bar to it, and "BOING!", nothing! I was amazed.

Top Quality as worn by me and the Evil One!
