Purpose and Fitment

The window is specifically designed for the Mercedes W169 body, taking into account its distinctive side line and door opening shape. Its placement on the vehicle is rear – right side, which guarantees proper alignment with the door frame and factory seals.

As an OEM component from the car windows category, this part retains the original curvature, thickness, and glass type, which is important for:

• body rigidity and chassis performance during driving,
• proper door closing and window lift mechanism operation,
• reducing cabin noise and ensuring adequate insulation from external conditions.

Technical Characteristics of AS2 Glass

The AS2 designation indicates the type of glass used as standard in passenger car side windows. This type of glass provides:

• an appropriate level of light transmission compliant with homologation requirements,
• controlled mechanical strength and resistance to typical operational loads,
• safe behavior of the glass in case of damage.

By maintaining factory optical parameters, the window does not distort the image, which is important for passenger comfort and proper visibility in side mirrors.

Benefits of Using an Original Used Window

Choosing an original salvaged window is a sensible compromise between quality and repair cost. A used OEM part allows you to:

• maintain a consistent appearance of the vehicle's side body line,
• preserve factory fit with guides and seals,
• minimize the risk of leaks and excessive wind noise.

Compared to low-quality aftermarket alternatives, an original rear right window integrates better with the existing door assembly, reducing the need for additional adjustments and bodywork/paint corrections.

Practical Installation Tips

When replacing the rear right window in a Mercedes W169, it is worth paying attention to several technical aspects:

• thoroughly cleaning the door frame and guides before installation,
• checking the condition of seals and mounting components,
• correctly positioning the window in the lift mechanism to avoid stress.

Professional installation allows you to fully utilize the advantages of original glass and ensures long-lasting, trouble-free operation.
