Can someone tell me if this is possible? Is comfort glass all the way round the car or just the windscreen? Would it be possible to just replace the glass in the windscreen with comfort glass? Is there anything else that I need to be aware of?

There are two versions; one is the sunreflecting windscreen, and then you have the option with thicker glass. If it's the latter, you'll in for a real treat - all windows must be changed...

Seriously though, what's the deal with the thicker glass? Is it bullet proof?

I was referring to the sun-reflecting 'comfort glass'; I'm having trouble seeing where I'm going from the glare that is being reflected by the glory of Liverpool!

1. When the sun is shining very hard, it makes a very big difference in temperature. In this way you won't burn behind the glass. The airco doesn't have to blow at max speed.
2. Noise (road) is a lot less. For example if open my Logic7 at max, and I close the doors and windows, you can't even notice the radio is switched on.
