Windscreen and Tailgate Glass — Basic Information (BMW 3 Series E46)

1. These glasses are securely fixed in the window openings of the car body using a waterproof seal and a special adhesive composition. Replacing glass installed in this way is a complex and lengthy procedure that is beyond the capabilities of the car owner. Without experience, it is difficult to ensure a reliable waterproof seal. In addition, there is a risk of glass breakage, especially multi-layered glass. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you entrust such work to specialists.

Rear window (tourist model)

2. Since the rear window of this model can be opened independently of the tailgate, removing the window requires removing the rear spoiler. This is a very complex job that requires special tools and high qualifications. Any attempt to remove the spoiler without special tools will end in its breakage. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you entrust this work to specialists.
