I’m sure the numbers on the glass might indicate if it is acoustic or not, but another way to check is to see if the front windows are a single piece or two pieces of glass with resin in between (ie double glazed).

This is my front (acoustic):

This is my rear (normal):

You can see the front ones are double glazed. Only the front ones get acoustic on the Enyaq with the Convenience Package, but the rears don’t really need it as they’re further from the main source of noise the tyres and air hitting the front of the car.

I too have the convenience package and can concur with RichR about the thickness of the front windows, you can quite easily see the difference between them and the rears.

My rears are original factory tinted, no stick on stuff.

Also the markings on the front windows show the letters X1A which I believe means Acoustic glass.

I just checked my windows and RichR was spot on - there is a visible ridge in top edge of the glass on front windows compared to rears. I can rest easy now. And I did notice the X1A marking as well!

you can always call or write to Saint Gobain to ask what glass is that, based on the codes.
Remember, all acoustic glass is laminated (what @RichR noted), but not all laminated glass is acoustic :)
But yeah, laminated glass does help a bit with noise anyway so i guess this is what Skoda calls "acoustic glass" even though it's probably not the "real" deal.

Update from the dealership late yesterday afternoon they sent over to the product team at Volkswagen querying a possible miss- build still waiting to hear back from.

I’ve just gone out and taken pictures of the symbol of my glass and also the front driver-side glass looks very similar to what you’ve sent over so I’ll wait for the dealership to come back and hopefully confirm I have acoustic glass

So after 2 weeks, the dealership has now opened a case with customer care and they will be in contact with me in the next 24 hours to discuss more in detail? so whatever that means I'm not sure.

Seems like the dealership is standing back but I shall keep you updated,

/ \ so it was delivered with acoustic glass, according to your photo above which matches RichR’s photo, but not factory-delivered with tinted windows in the back? The dealership spent £200 having the windows tinted upon delivery.

I think this is the situation you’ve been describing?

Would you be happy to share a photo of the rear windows? I’m deeply suspicious that an aftermarket tint would be of the same quality as factory fitted. Just don’t want to see you get fobbed off by your dealership or Skoda ;-)

Aftermarket tints will always leave you with the dot matrix I've had mine done so I know.

You'll have dot matrix on the rear window along with the small rear quarter windows, you'll also have a slight line on the small glass section of the rear door window at the break. Will get images later and add them.
