A few new cars now come with laminated side glass. It's an option on the
Volvo Cross Country and other high end Volvos. Dunno about other makes.

Works the same as laminated front glass. The Volvo dealer video shows a guy
working on a side window with a hammer for about 2 minutes before he makes a
hole big enough to reach through.
