Purpose and Fitment for Mercedes W169

The presented window glass is specifically designed as the front right door side window for the Mercedes A-Class W169 generation. This ensures a precise fit with the window channels, seals, and the window lifting mechanism in this particular body style, without the need for modifications or forcing the part into place.

The original edge geometry and appropriate bending radius ensure proper sealing, which reduces the risk of wind noise during driving and minimizes the possibility of water ingress into the door interior.

AS2 Glazing Characteristics

AS2 glazing used in automotive side windows means the glass meets the light transmission and safety requirements for windows other than the windshield. This type of glass:

• provides adequate clarity and visibility of the surroundings in various lighting conditions,
• is designed to work with factory window lifting and lowering mechanisms,
• maintains a proper balance between driving comfort and protection against excessive interior heating.

As a result, the glass works well with the factory seals and door frame, maintaining the parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Condition, Functionality, and Application

This part is a used item from a dismantled vehicle and is offered as a used side window glass, providing a cost-effective solution for accident repairs, replacing damaged glass, or restoring full functionality to the passenger door. Choosing an original used window glass helps maintain factory fitment and the vehicle's character while reducing repair costs.

The glass is intended for installation on the right side at the front of the vehicle body, which is important for compatibility with the door structure and for the proper operation of the lifting mechanism and channels. Correct placement on the vehicle facilitates part selection when comparing it with the existing window in the car.

Benefits of Using Original Mercedes Glass

Using an original side window glass for the Mercedes W169 offers several practical benefits:

• Factory Fitment – maintains the correct geometry, thickness, and shape of the glass, ensuring proper operation of the window mechanism and door seal.
• Visual Consistency – uniform glass tint compared to other windows in the vehicle, which is important for collision repairs or replacing a single component.
• User Safety – compliance with AS2 side window standards, supporting the maintenance of required passive safety parameters.

For users who value original manufacturer solutions, this is a sensible compromise between quality and repair cost, especially for vehicles used daily.
