Does factory tint offer protection against glass shattering, similar to aftermarket film?

Although many people assume factory tinted glass offers protection against shattering similar to aftermarket window film, in reality, factory tint is integrated into the glass purely for appearance and glare reduction. It does not add a protective layer that helps hold glass fragments together upon impact. In contrast, MOD5 TopShield window tint films are constructed with materials designed to adhere to the glass surface, providing an additional physical barrier that can help contain shattered glass shards in the event of an accident or breakage, keeping them from scattering into the cabin.
