I AM looking for a new car and I like the Peugeot 308 Wagon, but I'm concerned about the glass roof that is standard. We get heavy hail and cars are dented and their windows smashed, caravans have holes punched through their roofs, tile roofs get smashed, and animals get injured and killed. So how safe will this glass roof be if I was caught in a hailstorm or had a rollover?
WE CONTACTED Peugeot and this is the answer we received: ``With an overall rigidity greater than that of steel panel, the panoramic glass roof is assembled from three layers of dark-tinted glass with a thickness of 2.10 + 0.76 + 2.10 mm respectively. The combination of the different layers optimises their performance in terms of filtration, giving a particularly pleasant view while at the same time limiting light and energy transmission into the passenger compartment to 17 per cent.'' Basically the glass roof is probably going to be better than a steel roof in the hailstorm and the rollover.
