Purpose and fitment

The presented glass is a side component mounted on the rear right side of the body, which is crucial for precise fitment to the specific BMW E91 body version. Thanks to a design that adheres to the manufacturer's factory standards, the correct window line, mounting gaps, and compatibility with seals and trim strips are maintained.

Its location in the rear part of the vehicle means the glass contributes to both the lateral rigidity of the body and the acoustic comfort inside the cabin. Proper fitment of this component is essential when restoring the car to its pre-damage condition and during professional body and paint repairs.

Technical characteristics of the glass

The AS3 marking indicates a specific type of automotive glass used in selected body glazing elements. The glass features a black edge finish, which allows for an aesthetic connection with seals, pillars, and other side body elements. This type of finish also facilitates masking the bonding zone and ensures a consistent appearance with the other windows in the vehicle.

As a component from the Automotive glass category, the product meets the requirements for installation in a unibody structure, maintaining appropriate rigidity and resistance to operational loads. The glass construction is prepared for seating in factory mounting points, which limits the need for additional modifications during installation.
