In the MSVA section on glazing it says in things to check:
Quote:
2 Check that side screens (where fitted), windscreens and windows are securely attached to the vehicle. Note. Side screens are permitted to be detachable, i.e. slot into position, but must be secure such that during normal use they will not become detached or interfere with the driver's control of the vehicle.
3 Check all windscreens and other windows wholly or partly on either side of the driver's seat (not including side screens), are made of safety glass or safety glazing and marked by the manufacturer, to one of the European , or acceptable, standards.
4 Check all other windows (including sun roofs) and side screens are made of:
a) safety glass (as above), or
b) safety glazing.
Note. "Safety glazing" means material (other then glass) which is so constructed or treated that if fractured does not fly into fragments likely to cause severe cuts. There are no markings for safety glazing.

I am thinking of door window glazing at the moment. I had intended to use Land Rover door tops but the shape an size of the windscreen I now have won't fit with the steep angle of the Land Rover door top.
So that leaves me either having to find an alternative door glass that fits or using 'safety glazing' in side screens, which I assume to be some kind of acrylic or perspex type material.
But what is the difference between "windows wholly or partly on either side of the driver's seat" and "side screens"?
Cheers.
