Rear Window Glass This glass is known by different names such as back window glass, back windshield, rear windscreen and back automotive glass. The rear window glass is a type of safety glass and so it provides safety from the back side of the vehicle.

A glass run channel is a groove, normally made of rubber or plastic, that is found around windows (most commonly car windows). The primary purpose of a glass run channel is to provide a seal for the window.

You can determine the type of glass on your vehicle by checking a label in the bottom corner of your side windows—it should clearly indicate whether the glass is tempered or laminated. If you can't find the label or this info isn't included, contact your vehicle manufacturer.
