What is a rear window?
Any damage to your rear window compromises the structural integrity of your car and, as a result, the safety of your loved ones and yours in the case of an accident. Rear windows, normally, are made of tempered glass that has undergone a series of heating and cooling cycles to strengthen its sturdiness and safety features.
This is why it can break into thousands of smaller fragments if damaged, less dangerous than larger pieces that it would have created if broken. Also, the built-in heating source allows the glass to demist when it’s colder outside than inside the automobile.
