is it glass or polycarbonate?

When we ordered this in May of 2014, it was a glass mug with etching. Very heavy and very good quality. I can't speak to if the item has since then changed its detailed specifications. Hope that helps!

I think it was glass. I used it to replace one on a 2012 Nissan Rogue and it was an exact factory replacement.

The container is some form of polycarbonate (no symbol) as far as I know. NSF but not sure if it is BPA free or not. I don't recall seeing anything mentioning it.

Polycarbonate Plastic. Same as the original head lights. They do it to save on wieght. I'd rather skip a donut every now and then and have the old glass ones myself.

No it's a very clear but tough polycarbonate not sure of the exact makeup, but of the 3 I have no distortion and no marking so it appears to be very tough.

I'm sure it's not PET, same for polypropylene, polycarbonate is a possibility but the clarity seems a bit better than that, not to mention the price is a tad more reasonable. I'm a carpenter and not a chemist so this is only a guess - I'm going with Acrylic, based only on clarity and price. One thing to keep in mind is that I use these jars to store meds for a cat who might only live another six months so I'm not worried about contaminants. If you're young enough to be worried about out gassing, BPA or other possible plastic corruption to foodstuffs then store them in glass only.

it seems like it's glass......it's definitely not plastic. it works great and there's no issues with mine at all. I'm very happy with it.

It's plastic. It does on the outside of the tank, though, so it can cling to the glass.

I got this off the steamer's manufacturer's website: "Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical commonly used to make polycarbonate plastic, a clear, shatter-proof material. Progressive makes a conscious effort to avoid these materials when designing and producing our kitchen products."

A polymer glass material, it is VERY pretty though and looks quite expensive. Definitely worth it.

At Jarden Consumer Solutions (JCS), we are committed to producing trusted household products that meet or exceed applicable product standards. BPA is a key component in the production of polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonates (PC) are used in a variety of applications in the appliance industry where strength, durability and clarity are required. BPA is also present in certain thermo set epoxies used in coatings, adhesives, paints, etc. Phthalates are primarily used in vinyl to make the material more pliable/flexible. A vast majority of our products are made from BPA free plastics such as Polypropylene (PP), Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), Polyethylene (PE), etc. and inorganic materials such as glass, which do not contain BPA. Currently, Polycarbonates (PC) continue to be recognized as safe for food contact applications by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). JCS purchases Polycarbonates (PC) from trusted suppliers, who monitor to ensure what they sell complies with all current federal, state and local health and safety regulations.

It has the same quality as the side mirrors so I would say glass. Hope this helps.

I believe it was glass but mine died on me very soon after buying it. I'd go in another direction. Not worth it IMO.

It looks like glass but nowadays is difficult to be certain. I would say yes based on the temperature of the material. Glass is always cooler than plastic.

Bulrush, No it is not #7 (polycarbonate) you might look at a milk jug, I believe there number 2 , or a one gallon water jug.

The lenses are polycarbonate, which is actually more expensive than glass or plastic. From WebMD: "Polycarbonate lenses. These eyeglass lenses are impact-resistant and are a good choice for people who regularly participate in sports, work in an environment in which their eyeglasses may be easily scratched or broken, and for children who may easily drop and scratch their eyeglasses. Polycarbonate lenses also provide ultraviolet protection."
