Where have you read this? I'm interested to know where it is stated since I have yet to hear of this compromise in safety in the name of weight saving for automotive tempered glass.
If this is true, I do compensate by mounting it near the corner of the glass - to keep it at the part of the glass with the strongest structural rigidity. The weight of the bike (roughly 30 lbs) is spread out on 3 suckers for the front fork and each sucker is roughly 5 inches in diameter, so I am hoping it won't be an issue.
Better than my friend who mounts his mountain bike front fork on hood and rear tire on front windshield
hehe. He drives a BMW Z with a ragtop.
