Armored Vehicle Glass Mold Database
Release time
2026/10/12
Bulletproof glass for armored vehicles is highly customized. Every vehicle model and every glass position (windshield, front door, side door, tailgate) has its own mold specifications. Drawing on years of production experience, TD Bulletproof has compiled a mold database covering 360 vehicle models, enabling engineers, procurement teams, and vehicle converters to quickly look up step edge, black border, maximum size, diagonal, and other key parameters.
1. Why an Armored Vehicle Glass Mold Database Matters
Bulletproof glass differs from ordinary automotive glass in that its production involves hot bending, lamination, ceramic black border printing, and step edge processing. Each step requires precise matching with the original OEM glass in terms of dimensions, curvature, step edge, and black border position.
Inaccurate mold data leads to the following problems:
- Fitment mismatch: The glass cannot seat into the vehicle's window frame, causing seal failure or body deformation;
- Black border misalignment: The printed black border does not align with the vehicle's trim, affecting appearance;
- Optical distortion: Incorrect hot bending parameters cause visual distortion, compromising driving safety;
- Mold scrapping: Repeated trial production results in significant waste of materials and labor.
This is why the industry needs an authoritative, searchable mold database — it directly determines whether bulletproof glass can pass assembly on the first attempt.
2. Database Coverage
This database contains 360 records of armored vehicle glass mold specifications, covering mainstream armored vehicles, SUVs, pickups, and commercial vehicle platforms.

3. Key Parameter Definitions
Each mold record contains the following critical technical parameters:
3.1 Step Edge
The stepped edge structure on the glass perimeter, designed to seat into the vehicle's window frame. The width, depth, and shape of the step edge must match the OEM glass precisely, typically within ±1 mm. The database records step edge distribution for each model — for example, "L/R Top 23 mm, Bottom None" indicates a 23 mm step edge on the left, right, and top, with no step edge at the bottom.
3.2 Black Border / Black Print
The ceramic screen-printed black border on the glass perimeter, serving to block light, provide decoration, and protect the adhesive layer from UV aging. The black border width is typically 10–30 mm larger than the step edge. Some models feature a dot pattern gradient. The database clearly notes the black border dimensions and whether a dot pattern template is used for each model.
3.3 Maximum Size
The maximum width × maximum height of the finished glass (in mm). Because bulletproof glass uses a multi-layer laminated structure, dimensional tolerances are stricter than ordinary glass, typically requiring ±2 mm.
3.4 Diagonal
The diagonal dimension is a key indicator for verifying the overall curvature and shape accuracy of the glass, especially critical for curved bulletproof windshields. Used in combination with maximum size, it helps determine whether the mold has deformed.
4. How to Use the Filter Functions
The database provides multi-dimensional filtering and search functions to help you quickly locate target models:
| Filter | Description | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 🔍 Search Models | Enter a model name keyword | Type "LC300" or "Hilux" to quickly locate |
| 🏷️ Brand | Filter by brand category | Select "Toyota" to view all Toyota mold records |
| 📌 Glass Position | Filter by position type | Select "Windshield" to view only windshield molds |
| 📅 Year Range | Filter by production year range | Filter molds added between 2020–2026 |
| ↺ Reset Filters | Clear all conditions with one click | Quickly return to all 360 records |
Click any card to view complete parameter details, including step edge, black border, maximum size, diagonal, production date, and technical remarks. The technical remarks field is particularly important, recording production-critical notes such as "outer layer bottom corner cut 25 mm for hot bending," "left/right asymmetric oversize," and "rain sensor hollow retained."
5. Typical Application Scenarios
| Application Scenario | Database Value |
|---|---|
| 🚔 Armored Vehicle Converters | Quickly look up target model mold specifications for direct use in quotations and production orders |
| 🏛️ Government / Embassy Procurement | Verify whether supplier-provided bulletproof glass matches the original vehicle model |
| 🏭 Glass Manufacturers | Use as product development reference to avoid duplicating existing mold models |
| 🔧 Special Vehicle Engineering | Provide specification basis for armored vehicles, cash-in-transit vehicles, and escort vehicle projects |
| 📦 Export Trade | Quickly match by target market models (Malaysia Hilux, Middle East LC200, etc.) |
