Technical Characteristics of the Rear Glass

The AS2 type glass glazing used in the BMW convertible top provides appropriate optical and durability parameters. This type of glass is designed for:

• controlled light transmission,
• resistance to stresses resulting from the operation of the convertible top mechanism,
• dimensional stability within the roof frame.

By using an original glass, compatibility with factory seals and mounting elements is maintained, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of leaks.

• a secure fit to the convertible top frame,
• no need for modifications to the roof structure,
• the ability to restore full functionality to the rear glazing after damage to the previous window.
