No, definitely laminated.
Solar tinted and ACOUSTIC LAMINATED, keeps UV rays out and reduces noise infiltration.

Not ripping the door apart, also the trucks under warranty. I'm not replacing the window until the dealership looks at it. Hopefully something obvious shows up than.

It's not open heart surgery, 15-20 minutes and a quick look.

I hope the dealer meets your expectations.

That side glass gets removed and replaced without door panel removal, but, if there is suspicion that something inside the door is causing the crack, then yeah, door panel will come off.
