Application and fitment for BMW U06

The presented window is designed specifically as the rear side door glass on the left side for BMW U06 series models. Thanks to its factory shape and precise edge profile, it ensures a correct fit within the door frame and compatibility with original seals and guides.

The placement on the vehicle is limited to the rear, left part of the body, which facilitates clear identification of the component when selecting spare parts and planning body repairs.

Characteristics of AS2 glass

Glass marked with the AS2 class meets the requirements for light transmission and safety for side windows, providing an appropriate balance between transparency and user comfort. This type of glazing is commonly used in modern passenger cars, which facilitates integration with the remaining windows in the vehicle.

The properly selected thickness and structure of the glass support the stability of the pane in the door frame, as well as correct interaction with the window lifting mechanism and sealing elements.

Condition of the component and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered window comes from the used parts segment, which allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. In practice, this means the ability to restore full functionality of the rear body glazing without the need to resort to replacements of uncertain origin.

Choosing an original window from dismantling is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacing damaged glass after an impact or crack, as well as when completing missing body elements in fleet and private cars.

Installation work and area of application

The BMW U06 Rear Door Side Window Glass AS2 Glazing Left N/S is intended for installation in the rear door on the driver's side, in place of the factory glazing. During replacement, it is recommended to use appropriate tools for door upholstery removal and to check the condition of the guides, seals, and the window lifting mechanism to ensure smooth operation of the entire system.

This element is important for both driving comfort and the safety of rear-seat passengers – properly selected glass affects visibility, protection against external factors, and the acoustic tightness of the interior.
