Purpose and function in the vehicle

The offered rear trunk lid window is dedicated to the BMW 1 Series E82 coupe body and is mounted in the rear part of the vehicle. This component is responsible for proper rear visibility, the tightness of the luggage compartment, and the structural stability of the trunk lid, while the tinted AS3 glass additionally supports the protection of the interior against excessive sunlight.

As a part from the Car Windows group, the glass works with the trunk lid seal and other body elements, ensuring proper rigidity and correct water drainage from the rear zone of the vehicle.

Characteristics of AS3 glass and the benefits of tinting

Glass marked with the AS3 class is a solution with an increased degree of tinting, used in the rear part of the body. In practice, this means:

• reducing the amount of light entering the cabin from the trunk side,
• limiting the heating of the rear interior on sunny days,
• more comfortable conditions for rear passengers,
• a subtle increase in the privacy of items transported in the trunk.

Thanks to the factory tinting, the glass maintains consistency with other glazing elements in the BMW E82, which translates into an aesthetic and uniform appearance of the body.

Original fitment and installation

As a component originating from BMW, the glass is designed for the specific dimensions and curves of the coupe trunk lid. This means a precise fit to the frame, proper cooperation with the seal, and correct positioning relative to the hinges and the trunk lid lifting mechanism. Original glass geometry facilitates service work and allows for installation in accordance with factory procedures, without the need for modifications.

The product is offered in a used condition, which allows for an economical repair of the rear part of the body while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This is a practical solution when replacing the glass after mechanical damage or a collision.

Practical application and safety

The rear trunk lid window in the BMW E82 has both functional and structural significance. It is responsible for:

• maintaining proper rear visibility while keeping a comfortable level of tinting,
• contributing to the rigidity of the trunk lid,
• proper operation of the sealing system in the rear part of the body,
• protecting the interior from weather conditions.

Choosing an original glass with AS3 tinting allows you to maintain the performance parameters intended by the manufacturer, which is important for both comfort and vehicle operation safety.
