    FAIL, AFAIK. But the re-test would be free if it failed on this alone so stick it in.....

    1. go to www.ncts.ie and download the manual.
    2. if you read the above (pg 22/87) you will see...
    1. Check the condition and security of the windscreen and all side and rear windows.
    2. Check that where the windscreen is made of glass it is marked as safety glass.
    3. Check that there is an adequate view from the driving seat and that it is not interfered with by objects or stickers.
    4. Check that in the case of vehicles first registered on or after 1st January, 1986 the windscreen is made of laminated
    safety glass and marked as shown on the attached schedule I overleaf or to an equivalent standard.
    5. Where windscreens, side or rear windows are fitted with glazing material other than safety glass the vehicle owner
    shall provide a certificate from the manufacturer or installer stating that the glazing material is not likely, if
    fractured, to produce fragments capable of causing severe cuts.
    6. Check that the driver's window operating mechanism is functioning properly.
    Only the drivers window needs to be working.
