Purpose and Placement of the Glass

The presented quarter glass is dedicated for installation in the rear right area of the convertible body, within the side passenger compartment. Its placement on the vehicle as rear – right side means the part interacts with mechanisms and seals designed exclusively for this position, which is crucial for sealing, aerodynamics, and proper glass operation in its guides.

Technical Characteristics of AS2 Glass

Glass marked with AS2 classification meets the light transmission and safety requirements typical for side body glass. The triangular design is engineered to:

• ensure stable seating in the frame and seals,
• maintain appropriate rigidity during the convertible body's operation,
• limit stresses in the corners characteristic of triangular glass.

This allows the glass to retain its proper performance parameters in various road and weather conditions, while remaining visually consistent with the vehicle's other glazing elements.

Original Origin and Compatibility

As a part intended for Mercedes vehicles, the rear right quarter glass has been designed for full compatibility with the factory mountings, guides, and seals of the A238 Cabrio body. This means that:

• the edge geometry matches the original mounting points,
• the glass thickness is adapted to standard trims and frames,
• the glass parameters comply with the vehicle manufacturer's requirements.

By adhering to OEM standards, installation proceeds predictably for experienced service technicians, and the risk of fitting issues or leaks is minimized.

Item Condition and Service Application

The glass comes from the used component circulation, allowing for an economical repair of the glazing area without resorting to more expensive solutions. This type of part is particularly useful for:

• repairs after side collisions in the rear of the body,
• mechanical damage to the glass (cracks, scratches, chips),
• comprehensive convertible restoration requiring the re-establishment of the original glazing configuration.

Choosing an original rear right quarter glass helps maintain the vehicle's visual consistency and the proper operational parameters of the glass mechanisms and seals.
