2010 Prius Window Specs

Here's some 2010 Prius glass and window info and specs.

Glass:

	GLASS LOCATION	COLOR	GLASS TYPE	UV CUT RATE	SOLAR HEAT REDUCTION RATE	VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMISSION RATE
1	Windshield	Green	Laminated (Sound Insulated)	100%	55%	80%
2	Sliding Moon Roof	Dark Gray	Tempered (UV Cut)	96%	23%	19%
3	Front Quarter	Green	Tempered (UV Cut)	92%	46%	74%
4	Front Door	Green	Tempered (UV Cut)	91%	49%	75%
5	Front Door (Prius IV and V)	Green	Tempered (Water Repellent Coated)	91%	49%	75%
6	Rear Door	Green	Tempered (UV Cut)	90%	51%	76%
7	Rear Quarter	Green	Tempered(UV Cut)	89%	47%	74%
8	Rear Hatch	Green	Tempered (UV Cut)	89%	47%	74%
9	Rear Hatch Lower	Dark Gray	Tempered	92%	32%	29%

Power Windows:
All power windows in the 2010 Prius have one touch auto up/down with jam protection.

When the driver locks out the passenger window switches, the lighting within the switches is extinguished. However, unlike previous models, the driver can operate all windows regardless of the lock out switch position.

The 43 second open/close window feature after power off is retained. This feature is "canceled" when the driver or front passenger door is opened, just as with current models.

The rear power windows in the 2010 Prius are variable speed opening. The initial opening is accelerated to reduce noise. The window then opens at "normal speed" for most of the travel. As the window reaches the fully open position, the opening speed decelerates to reduce noise as the window reaches the fully open position. The same happens in reverse when closing the window. The initial travel upward is accelerated. The window then travels up at "normal" speed. As the window approaches fully closed, the closing speed decelerates to reduce closing noise.

Moonroof:

The moonroof has a one touch tilt and a one touch open feature. When auto opening the moonroof, the reason for the moonroof auto stopping at the "almost open" position is to reduce cabin interior noise. You can manually open the roof the rest of the way.

If the moonroof is left open after powering off the vehicle, the car will chime once to remind the driver that the moonroof is open.

The manual sunshade will open at the same time the moonroof is opened.

 

ggood, the 2nd gen is darker on the lower segment. I'd consider a lighter tint on that panel to match. Perhaps if we brought these #'s to a tint shop, they could help us pick the right tint to look more uniform.

 

Well, the 2004 NCF has most of the values, but doesn't measure solar heat reduction, only UV reduction.

	Glass Portion	Glass Type	UV Reduction Rate (%) (as reference)	Visible Light Penetration (%) (as reference)
1	Windshield	Green Laminated	100	78.3
2	Front Quarter	Green	91.8	72.8
3	Front Door	Green	91.8	72.8
4	Rear Door	Green	90	75.4
5	Rear Quarter	Green	89	77
6	Upper Back Door	Green	89	77
7	Lower Back Door	Privacy (Dark Gray)	93.7	27.9

Note - this is before they switched the windshield to the sound absorbing type in 2006.

The numbers are similar, but generally improved for 2010.

 

The brochure is disappointingly lacking in outlining many of the technical features this car contains. There's no mention of exhaust heat recovery for quicker warm-ups (which could have positive marketing spin for heating up the car quicker in cold weather), acoustic windshield, numerous aluminum parts for weight reduction, etc.
