Front door window, replacement
Background
New windows have been introduced for the front doors to improve quality and to prevent excessive noise. Because of a new lift bar, the door glass appears to be larger because the glass does not fully drop into the door in the "down" position. The additional inside guide rail on the lock side has also been removed.
The guide molding for the window is unchanged, but will be shortened when a new protective cap for the inner lock is introduced. The mounting of the windows on the window mechanism now uses two M6 bolts. The window lift bar is bonded to the door window and does not need to be installed.
Only the new window version is available as a spare part and can be installed in the older versions of cars without any changes.
