Purpose and fitment for Mercedes SLK R172

The presented rear roof window is dedicated to the Mercedes SLK R172 model with a hard top, in the version with Palladium Silver Metallic paint. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle means the component works in conjunction with the folding roof mechanism, which is why maintaining the correct geometry and rigidity of the glass is crucial. The original design ensures compatibility with factory seals, the roof frame, and fittings, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of leaks.

Technical specifications and color

The rear window is manufactured as a glass element designed to function within the hard top structure, with the appropriately selected thickness and type of glass used in premium Car Windows. The color Palladium Silver Metallic - 792 allows for a seamless match with the bodywork in the same shade, which is essential for post-accident repairs and when replacing body parts after mechanical damage. This preserves the continuity of the roof's styling lines and the rear section of the vehicle.

Function in the hard top structure

The rear roof window in the Mercedes SLK R172 is designed as a component that forms part of the hard top structure, which:

• ensures proper rear visibility while maintaining roof rigidity,
• works with the perimeter seal to limit water ingress and noise,
• is integrated with the folding roof frame, which requires precise dimensional fitting,
• influences the aerodynamics of the rear body section.

Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry, the window can be installed as a replacement for a damaged part without the need to interfere with the roof structure.

Condition, application, and benefits of choosing a used window

The offered rear roof window is a used component, which allows for reduced repair costs while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs when it is necessary to replace several body and glazing elements simultaneously. A used window from dismantling, selected for a specific model and body color, enables a technically correct vehicle restoration without the need to use replacements with uncertain parameters.
