The fixed body windows, windscreen
and rear side windows are bonded flush with the body. Together with
the rear window, they help increase the structural rigidity of the
body and increase the level of car safety while greatly reducing
aerodynamic noise.
WINDSCREEN
The windscreen glass is tinted
and laminated. It consists of two layers of glass with a sheet of
plastic in between. This configuration prevents the glass layers
from shattering if struck by stones and pebbles. This maintains
visibility and above all ensures a high degree of protection if
the window is struck by an occupant's head. The window border that overlaps the body
is screen-printed in black. The windscreen is fitted, on some versions,
with a rain sensor bonded near the rear view mirror mount base and
a demisting sensor located on the base itself a few millimetres
away from the windscreen.
REARSCREEN
The rear window is made out of
tempered, not laminated, glass and bonded flush with the tail-gate
structure. A set of demisting rheophores on the inner surface of
the rear window include a hole at the bottom for the rear wiper
axle seat, a reference and the wiper parking area. The rheophore
is connected to the electrical system by means of two terminals
located on the right and left sides of the rheophore. The rear window
border that overlaps the tail-gate structure is screen-printed in black.
FIXED SIDE WINDOWS
The fixed side windows are made
out of tinted tempered glass and bonded flush with the body.A sealing strip on the pillar side of the
windows prevents turbulence and wind noise with the door closed.
The area where the side window fits to the tailgate structure is
screen-printed in black.
