Purpose and fitment for Mercedes W245

The offered rear window is dedicated to the tailgate of the Mercedes B-Class W245 generation. The design has been developed for this specific body type, ensuring that the correct curves, character lines, and edge geometry that interface with the seal and tailgate hinges are maintained. Such fitment reduces the risk of stress during installation and operation.

The AS2 standard glass provides appropriate light transmission parameters and glare protection, which translates into comfort when observing the road behind the vehicle. The applied green tint is consistent with the factory color scheme of the windows in this model, making it easier to maintain a uniform look for the entire vehicle glazing.

Glass characteristics and performance properties

The green rear tailgate window has been designed as a component that operates in demanding conditions – exposed to temperature changes, body vibrations, and loads resulting from frequent opening and closing of the tailgate. The appropriate thickness and type of AS2 glass promote dimensional stability and resistance to typical operational loads.

The green color serves both a practical and visual function: it limits interior heating from sunlight while maintaining image clarity in the rearview mirror. This provides the driver with a clear field of vision, which is important when maneuvering and reversing, especially in poor lighting conditions.

Installation zone – rear of the vehicle

The component is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle body, in the tailgate. Proper seating of the glass in the tailgate frame affects:

• the sealing of the luggage compartment against water and dust,
• the correct operation of the lock and tailgate actuators,
• the maintenance of the structural rigidity of the rear of the vehicle.

Precise fitment to the rear body zone facilitates service work and shortens replacement time, which is important both in a professional workshop and for installation carried out at specialized automotive glass centers.

Condition of the component and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered rear window is a used component, which allows for an economical replacement of damaged glazing while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing an original window from dismantling is a solution that combines controlled costs with the preservation of factory fitment and compliance with the body structure.

For many users, the Mercedes W245 is a vehicle used intensively, which is why replacing the rear window with an original used part is a reasonable compromise between durability and budget, without having to sacrifice proper fitment and compliance with the factory stylistic line.
