The whole time I was wondering why they didn't just try a brick. It's all about momentum and/or using just the right frequency of object when trying to break car glass.

I was cringing just waiting for that tire iron to bounce off the wrong way and hit the paint.

you need high psi to break car glass, you can break glass by pressing an icepick on it while at the same time a brick bounces off. Since the entire pane shatters, icepick method is way easier

An ice pick might have worked so long as it was a big one, but between a tire iron and a brick I'd take the brick, no question.

yes its actually stronger. One demo with the RX300 they tried to break out the sides to show how much safer the Volvo SUV glass was, problem was they couldn't break the RX300 glass, it was pretty funny to watch, egg on the face of the Volvo demonstraters for sure.

It's stronger? What evidence have you used to deduce that or are you just basing it on the fact that the Volvo crew's demo didn't go as planned with the RX300?

Well, there's only one way to find out!

Make sure you have your buddies taped and upload it on youtube for us to see.

Your logic is flawed, there is no question about that. Also, where is this demo?
