Purpose and fitment

The presented window has been designed specifically for the Mercedes W168 model, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. The placement on the vehicle is the rear right side, which means the component works with the original seals, moldings, and door or body frame without the need for modifications.

Thanks to the preservation of the factory dimensions and the shape of the triangular panel, the installation is predictable, and once installed, the window creates a cohesive line with the other side glazing elements.

Technical characteristics of the AS2 window

The AS2 marking indicates a window with controlled light transmission, adapted for use in the side parts of the body. This type of glass:

• ensures proper visibility for passengers and the driver,
• limits excessive interior heating,
• works with factory seals and mounting frames.

The triangular shape of the panel improves the rigidity of the side structure and affects the stability of the entire glazing in the rear part of the vehicle, which is important for daily car use.

Benefits of using an original Mercedes window

Choosing an original side window for a Mercedes translates into a number of practical advantages:

• Factory fitment – compatibility with the body line and adjacent bodywork elements is maintained.
• Stable sealing – the correctly selected shape and thickness of the glass facilitate achieving rain and acoustic tightness.
• Hassle-free installation – the component works with the original mounting points and installation accessories.

The product comes from the used parts segment, which allows for economical vehicle repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Application in body repairs

The rear right triangular window will work well both for post-accident repairs and for replacing damaged or leaking glazing resulting from wear and tear. The element is particularly important in situations where it is necessary to restore the full functionality of the rear part of the body without interfering with the door or pillar structure.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the side glazing zone in your Mercedes and need other elements from the same group, such as side door windows, additional triangles, or fixed panels, check the available parts in the Mercedes car windows category.

Why it is worth choosing used body elements

Replacing a side window with a used original part is a reasonable compromise between costs and maintaining factory specifications. In the case of body elements such as windows, it is crucial to match the specific model and comply with safety standards, which is ensured by an original component from dismantling.
