Is double-pane glass worth it?

How much does it cut down on noise and would it have any effect on keeping the inside cooler when parked in the sun. PS I like my solar sunroof, my car is cooler then previous cars after a day in the sun.

My car has the double-pane glass and its pretty darn quiet.

I doubt seriously that it will make the interior much cooler. A car left in the heat gets hot!!

I have the double-pane glass, but

if my car ever goes over 90mph, there is an annoying wind leak sound coming from the driver-side door glass.

I'm too embarassed to complain to the dealer because I know I shouldn't be driving that fast. This car is so quiet though, that at least with the seal noise, I get a warning I'm approaching 100mph.

Only if you don't have the solar roof!!!

This should be a standard feature here in Texas.

The solar roof doesn't make it noisy. My bad.

Re: I have the double-pane glass, but

I dont have double-pane glass and it's still very quite inside. I've also enabled the speed warning, it's just too easy to hit 100mph without 'realizing' it.....

Re: I have the double-pane glass, but

hi, I see that you have thee double paned glass. I just had my rear glass replaced on my 2004 A8L and they said that it never had a rear double paned glass and that only the sides are double. Can you look at the edge of your rear window and confirm that it is double paned and copy the numbers/letters in the lower left hadn side? I would REALLY appreciate it.
