    Question A4 (B9) Passenger Windows - Laminated or Tempered Glass?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Does anyone know if the passenger windows for the A4(B9) are made of laminated or tempered glass?

    I live in an area with a fair amount of bridges, etc. and for safety reasons I was thinking of getting an emergency hammer to leave in the vehicle should I ever need to attempt to break the window.

    While reading up on safety hammers it appears they only work with tempered glass. I have tried doing some research online, as well as, reviewing the markings on the side windows but I am unable to determine which type of glass they are. My gut is telling me they might be of the laminated type and therefore; god forbid, any reason I might need to break the window I could be SOL for an easy solution requiring minimal effort.

    Laminated will have AS1, tempered glass above 70% light transmission AS2 and less than 70% is AS3 denoted in the monogram. I believe the new A4s are still tempered.

    Do you have tint on your window? Will also defeat the purpose of the breaker. Something else people dont think about.
