    Centre of windscreen + branch = flex and load spreading.

    Closer to the frame - the more rigid the surface and the impact has more shock. Result - broken glass!
    yep, I did Mike! Thanks! Small dense object hitting near the edge is going to be more likely to yield a result. The screens are def not as robust unfortunately (weight and cost saving). I noticed the difference compared to the D4 after the 1st rainfall! It was noisy in comparison.
    Cheers,

    They say if you need to break a car window - say a side window because of an accident and you need to access someone inside - hit the glass near a corner, not the centre. Fortunately, I have not had to test the theory...

    I’ve also seen a video showing that winding a window down just a fraction shows it takes more effort to break.

    Was part of a security video - on preventing people breaking windows to grab the occupant.
