Glass Sun Roof
6_31_02
The glass roof consists of 7.45 mm-thick VSG/TVG glass (laminated safety glass/partially tempered glass).
The benefit of the types of glass used is first of all the splinter characteristics of laminated safety glass. The
plastic foil sandwiched between two sheets of glass prevents the glass from splintering and thus eliminates the
risk of injury from glass fragments in the event of breakage. Tempered glass is used on the other hand to ensure
meeting required quality standards with its high dimensional accuracy.
To ensure low wind noise at the Coupé level even at high speeds, a sealing system was developed that seals from
below. The benefit of this sealing system is the increasing sealing function at high speeds. As a result of the
increasing vacuum on the outer contour of the roof, the large glass roof is pushed farther into the sealing strip
and is thereby additionally sealed.
With the rest of the extensive sealing measures an extremely high degree of tightness and complete suitability for
automatic car washes has been achieved.
