I had a 1600 SR (lovely car)my rear wiperblade was worn and it scratched the laminate off (only a tiny bit, no more than a scratch) so I reckon it probably is.

The glass will be laminated, as far as I am aware the tint is just a film.

if by laminate you mean the same as the windscreen (2 layers of glass with a bonding adhesive sandwiched between them, then NO.

(Think when thiefs smash the side window, it breaks into thousands of pieces...)

Laminate controls this shatter and retains the integrity of the windscreen.

What the privacy tinted windows are is a standard glass, with a tinted film, which sort of acts like a proper laminate and the film and adhesive, holds the standard window glass and will retain SOME integrity if someone tries to smash it, depending on the quality of the tinted film.

Laminate glass is very expensive for use in door windows...
