Front windsheild safety film

[ctlikon0712]

I was just curious if there was anyone who had experience with windshield film similar to the one linked below? It seems to me with the proximity of the front seat to the windshield in our A's that an inner layer of film might would be prudent in an accident with respect to sharding. Did it help with fogging and or glare and was it very noticeable? Any thoughts or experiences are welcome.

Your windshield should already be safety glass.

Thank you Bob, you are correct, I believe that there is a inner layer sandwiched between two layers of glass.
I should have been clearer in my question. I am talking about a layer on the inside of the vehicle.

If your original plate glass has not been replaced it should be replaced with safety glass.

I was also told and had read in 1962 that Model As had Safety glass from the factory so when I was replacing the Plate glass in the side and rear windows of the Coupe I did not replace the windshield.

Four years later In 1966 I hit the rear of a 56 Plymouth that was stopped for a left turn at 45 MPH. The seat belt kept me out of the windshield and it was not cracked or broken.

Twelve years later I decided to replace the windshield as it was rattling in the frame.

Guess what? ... The glass was common single strength window PLATE GLASS!

Someone in the past did not want to pay for Safety glass and used window glass instead.

Do not assume that the windshield in your car is Safety glass.
