Is the Safety Hammer Still Effective for Tinted Car Windows?

[McHeidi]

Glass hammers are tools designed to shatter windows for emergency escape in vehicles. They are installed within the vehicle body and should not be repurposed. They are unrelated to window tinting. Even though tinted windows may not fall out completely when shattered by a hammer, they can be kicked out in large pieces to facilitate escape. Below are specific methods to check if a window has been replaced: 1. Check the manufacturer: Examine the manufacturer's code on the glass to identify which company produced it. Typically, car manufacturers purchase glass in bulk and do not use multiple brands or the same brand from different origins. 2. Check the production date: If the production dates of the glass pieces on a car vary significantly, it may indicate that the car has been refurbished or the glass has been replaced. 3. Check the glass markings: If the car window has been replaced, the markings on the new glass will differ significantly from the original factory markings.
