From what I recall, after tracing zillions of changes of part numbers, the acrylic layers are the structural ones and the glass is there on the outside for abrasion resistance. The inside glass has the heater layer because the Acrylic strength is only within a certain temperature band.

Ask PPG, they make most of them .
