Installing Front Door Window

Information 

• After model year 2006, once existing stocks of uncoated door windows have run out, only door windows with hydrophobic coating will be available as spare parts. 
• These windows can even be installed on vehicles produced up to model year 2006. 
• In each individual case, however, it would then be important to check whether the door window remaining in the vehicle should be coated. →  644049 REWORKING (COATING) FRONT DOOR WINDOW
