Heat Absorbing Front Windsheild and multi layer glass front side windows?
Does anyone have information regarding the front windshield and side windows? Wondering if it will be heat insulating, Ive seen some 2013's the street and they dont have the bluish hue that the S-class has.
This is stated as standard on the GL63, but not too sure about Gl350,450,550

New-gen-GL-glass is different formulation than old-gen-S-Class glass.... and there have been no direct spec data comparisons. That said, 2014 new-gen-S glass is said to be a bit different than old-gen-S and new-gen-GL, but no additional data known at this point.
If after owning a new GL, you want "more" UV/infra-red blockage - then you can zap 99% of the remaining UV and zap 90% of the remaining IR with 3M Crystalline film.
I strongly suspect the new-genGL glass and the new-gen-S glass have some type of 3M non-metallic tech in the new glass design.. but that's just my personal opinion
