I can tell you from accidental experience that it doesn't take much to bust a side window on the 44. Only a size 9 shoe...not too much force..(Accidentally stepped on it once taken it off, got distracted by pax asking more of those dumb questions, had put it down to take other door off.....won't mention the fact that i was probably well past being adequately rested ) But just ask the engineers how much harder it is to put a new window in than bust the old one out... I wouldn't pop my doors in auto over land either....over water yes. Have also seen how easy the bubbles come out if given some encouragement.....
But since i spend all of my time with at least 2 of the 4 doors off, guess it doesn't really matter....
