Vehicle Purpose and Placement

The presented window is intended for installation in the rear part of the estate body, on the left side of the vehicle. As a side quarter window, it is responsible for:

• Illuminating the luggage space and the rear cabin area,

Technical Characteristics of AS3 Glass

This window belongs to the AS3 class, which signifies the use of tinted, safety glass intended for side and rear glazed surfaces. This type of glass:

• Reduces solar radiation penetration into the interior, improving thermal comfort,
• Provides better protection for passengers' eyes from excessive sunlight,
• Enhances privacy in the rear part of the vehicle,
• Meets homologation requirements for windows installed in the rear zone.

Consequently, the window performs well in both daily use and for vehicles used on longer journeys, where stable lighting and thermal conditions in the cabin are of significant importance.

Benefits of Using Original Mercedes Glass

An original side window for the Mercedes S204 estate offers a range of practical benefits compared to aftermarket alternatives:

• Factory Fitment – The glass geometry matches the body design, facilitating installation and minimizing the risk of leaks.
• Optical Consistency – The tint and shade are matched to the other windows in the vehicle, maintaining a uniform appearance of the entire glazed body area.
• Proper Interaction with Seals and Trim – The glass edges are prepared to work with original mounting components, reducing stress and squeaks during driving.
• Passive Safety – The glass construction complies with the vehicle manufacturer's requirements, which is important in case of potential dynamic body loads.

Condition, Application, and Installation Recommendations

This item comes from the Automotive Glass group and is offered as a used part, providing a cost-effective solution for body repairs where maintaining original specifications while optimizing costs is crucial. The window is particularly suitable for situations such as:

• Replacement after mechanical damage or cracking,
• Completing missing glazing after bodywork repair,
• Restoring the factory appearance of the side body after a collision.

Installation by a specialized service center focusing on glass fitting and bodywork/painting is recommended to ensure watertightness, correct frame seating, and the absence of stress in the glass structure.
