One of my salespeople has been telling me that the windows in a Cadillac DTS have kevlar in them so the glass cannot be penetrated by a crow bar or claw hammer. Supposedly so thieves can’t smash and grab purses, wallets etc. out of the cars. He keeps telling me that the Cadillac trainer that was here told him that and yet I did not see it in any DTS brochures and I did not see it on the Cadillac website. He also tells me he watched a video online of someone demonstrating the features of the glass. Anyone hear of this before? I don’t see how kevlar suddenly became invisible. ---

the cost and production of the kevlar wouldnt be worth it IMO also, that would be a very thin sheet of kevlar unless the window didnt roll down ---

We used to work with kevlar at Alfred U. but the time and cost wouldnt be worth it to a GM/Ford domestic plant. ---

Kevlar is a fiber and not particularly transparent, so it would suck if it was embedded in glass. He probably meant that the side glass is laminated not just tempered like most cars, so it holds together like the windshield, rather than breaking apart into millions of tiny cubes when struck. ---
