Actually its the other way around, they switched from Tempered to Laminated. Tempered can shatter if a rock chips it just right when driving and can lead to a crash from the explosion of glass over the drivers head. What your insurance dd was use aftermarket glass and not factory.
But typically it catches someone hating on something (that isn’t even true) and then they just look ignorant in the end because manufacturers have always tried to save pennies and it didn’t start after his 2017. Someone, somewhere with a 2016 is saying the same thing about his truck it’s just the way it is and never ends lol

acdii, I wish you were correct because your statements of what happens to tempered glass is right on. If anyone reading this has a 2019 (maybe 2018) and newer, please go look at your sunroof glass. It tells you on the glass if it’s tempered or laminated. Believe me when I thought the insurance company jammed me I raised hell with them. That laminated roof panel isn’t even being made any longer. The only laminated ones I could find were from a junkyard. I dang sure don’t want a thousand pieces of glass in my cab when the tempered panel breaks.

OK, LIB, so I went out to my 2024, which has laminated side glass, so I assumed it still had Laminated roof panels. My 2019 F450 did. They ARE tempered. WTH? Must have changed vendors sometime after 2019 then.

see that’s what’s great is when facts are introduced. He just wanted to hate on “the newer trucks”

It is really weird that their glass number isn't correct, nor is there much info online if you search it...

I had 1 vehicle with a "moonroof"... 90% of the time it was closed... and another 90% of the time the shade was closed... 
Oh, I also had a convertable 99.9% of the time it wasn't driven with it open...
