UV windshield?
Guys/Gals
I know that the windows of all 4 doors are UV "filtered".
What about :
1. front/back windshield
2. The moonroof
maybe someone can shed some light in this ?

All glass (in any application) has some level of UV filtering.

I understand that, what i have noticed is that all the doors' windows has the "UV" sign on it but not the front/back windshield......
that's why i am asking if they are "UV" filtering like the rest of the windows do?

why would the two largest pieces of glass that receive the most light not have UV protection?! Of course they do.

All glasses (front, side, back & sunroof panel) are UV filtering but to different extent, according to some material that I came across at my dealership.
For instance, the front windshield has 100% UV reduction rate whereas the rear door & back window have 89% reduction rate, etc..
