Purpose and vehicle placement

The described glass is dedicated for installation in the rear part of the body on the right side, in the area of the side quarter window. This placement contributes to:

• maintaining the correct geometry of the glazing on the passenger side,
• proper illumination of the rear cabin area,
• maintaining the factory rigidity of the side body structure. Thanks to its precise fit to the specific body zone, the glass works with seals, moldings, and the body frame without the need for modifications.

Technical characteristics of the side glass

As an element from the Car windows group, the Ford Focus Mk3 Rear Side Quarter Window Glass AS3 Right O/S has been designed to maintain appropriate optical and functional parameters. The AS3 construction indicates glass with an increased level of tinting, which translates into:

• reducing the heating of the rear interior,
• increasing passenger comfort by reducing sun exposure,
• improving privacy in the rear cabin zone. At the same time, transparency is maintained, allowing for safe observation of the surroundings by passengers, as well as visual consistency with the vehicle's other windows.

Benefits of using original Ford glass

Using original glass dedicated to the Ford Focus Mk3 allows for maintaining factory body parameters and vehicle aesthetics. Key advantages include:

• Factory fit – the glass works with original mounting and sealing points, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of leaks.
• Visual consistency – the shade and tint characteristics are consistent with the model's design line, ensuring the vehicle maintains a uniform look of the side body section.
• Functional parameters – properly selected glass thickness and structure influence acoustic comfort and protection against solar radiation. Choosing original glass is particularly important for post-accident repairs and restoring the vehicle to a state consistent with factory specifications.

Component condition and installation aspects

The offered glass is a used component, which allows for an economical restoration of the efficiency and completeness of the side body section while maintaining the original origin of the component. In practice, this means a favorable cost-to-quality ratio and the possibility of matching it to the existing bodywork without interfering with the vehicle's structure. During installation, it is recommended to use appropriate sealing materials and to check the condition of the frames and adjacent moldings to maintain the tightness and durability of the connection between the glass and the body.

Choosing used glass vs. repair cost-effectiveness

In the case of elements such as side body windows, choosing a used part is often an economically advantageous solution while maintaining full functionality and compliance with factory standards.
