Its placement in the rear area of the vehicle requires maintaining proper geometry and compatibility with the roof frame and seals.

Compatibility and fit for BMW X5 E53

The glass has been designed as a dedicated component for the BMW X5 E53, which ensures the correct shape, bending radii, and mounting points. This allows for precise fitting with the factory panoramic roof frame, guides, and seals, without the need for body modifications. Its original BMW origin helps maintain tightness, reduce wind noise, and ensure proper operation of the opening mechanism, if the vehicle is equipped with one.

Characteristics of the used part

This type of component allows for cost reduction compared to new parts while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.
