[ROVERNET - UK] P6 windshield differences?

[Glen Wilson]

These are all windshields?  That is, they go on the front of the car?

Fact remains, they are all the same shape, tinted or not. Aftermarket 
windshields could be square or purple, but they will only fit the car if 
they conform to the factory dimensions.

I'm surprised that Rover would have installed an unlaminated windshield 
on a car they were selling as a safely designed vehicle. I can see the 
back window being non-laminated, but not the front windshield.

Does your book also show the heated rear window with the defroster wires 
built in?
