  1. Thank you for this post on double glazing. Good to know that these can usually be retrofitted if the car is also offered with double glazing as standard. I will consult with a car glazier to see if this is also possible for my car.

  2. I am currently looking for a car glazier. Good to know that double glazing is possible. Even if I don't need it.

  3. Mnie interesuje czy są na rynku foil, które można nakleić na zwykłe szyby w aucie celem zmniejszenia hałasu wpadającego przez szyby?

  4. Can anyone recommend transparent window films to dampen the noise a bit? I do not hope for a remarkable difference, but even marginal gains count on longer routes. Where can one order foil with acoustic insulating properties?
