Abstract: A vehicle glass includes an outer surface and an inner surface opposing the outer surface. A circumferential edge joins the inner and outer surfaces. The edge has at least, in part, a generally planar portion connected to the outer surface by an outer corner and connected to the inner surface by an inner corner. The planar portion is disposed at an acute angle with respect to the outer surface. Furthermore, the outer corner also has a radius less than one half the thickness of the vehicle glass.
