What are all windshields made of?

Explanation:
Windshields are made of laminated glass. This means two layers of glass with a plastic interlayer (like PVB) sandwiched between them. The interlayer holds the glass together when it’s struck, so the windshield won’t shatter into dangerous shards and will resist penetration, which is crucial for occupant safety and for keeping the roof supported and airbags effective. Tempered glass, used for many side and rear windows, breaks into many small pieces and wouldn’t provide the same safety in a windshield. Quarter glass and back glass refer to other window areas and can be tempered or laminated depending on the design, but the windshield itself is laminated glass.
