BMW 1 Series E87 2004-2011 5 Door Rear Left Passenger Door Window Glass N/S/R

This listing is for the REAR LEFT MOVABLE / DROP DOOR WINDOW GLASS fitted to the BMW 1 Series E87 5-door hatchback.

Do not order purely from registration number or a generic compatibility suggestion. Compare the shape, glass markings and part fitted to your vehicle. If unsure, contact us through eBay before ordering and provide your 17-character VIN so fitment can be checked.

The standard rear-left door glass reference is catalogued across the E87 5-door range. Exact production dates vary by engine derivative. VIN verification is recommended before purchase.

*Engine/power variants have different introduction/change dates. Compatibility shown is for the E87 body/glass application and should not replace VIN or glass-marking verification.

The small fixed rear-left door glass is a separate component. Do not confuse the movable door window with the fixed quarter glass.

BMW offered different glazing specifications. Standard rear-left movable door glass is associated with reference 51357067793. Factory sun-protection/tinted glazing can use a different reference, including 51357136003.

Compare the actual glass tint and etched markings in the listing photographs with the glass on your vehicle before ordering.

The glass fits inside the left-hand rear passenger door. It runs vertically in the door's window channels and is raised and lowered by the rear window regulator mechanism.

The glass provides weather protection, passenger security, visibility and acoustic isolation while maintaining the correct factory profile against the upper door seal.

Typical reasons include shattered or cracked glass, deep scratches, damaged mounting points, impact damage, vandalism, accident damage, or replacement following damage to the window regulator/door assembly.

If the window is tilted, slow, drops inside the door or does not move correctly, diagnose the regulator and guides before assuming the glass itself is faulty.

A factory-specification used component retains the original shape, curvature, edge profile and mounting geometry intended for the E87 door. Correct geometry is particularly important with automotive glass because the pane must travel smoothly through the regulator and seals.

Buying quality used automotive components can also represent a substantial saving compared with buying the equivalent component new. Depending on the component and current new retail pricing, savings can sometimes reach approximately 70%.

Installation generally requires removal of the rear door trim, access to the regulator mechanism, releasing the glass from its mounting, removing the damaged pane and carefully inserting and aligning the replacement.

• Plastic trim-removal tools
• Torx driver/socket set
• Ratchet and suitable sockets
• Screwdrivers
• Protective gloves
• Eye protection
• Low-tack tape for temporarily supporting glass
• Torque tools where required

1. Secure the vehicle and lower/position the existing glass as required.
2. Remove the rear door trim carefully.
3. Disconnect relevant electrical connectors.
4. Remove the moisture barrier without unnecessarily damaging it.
5. Access the window regulator/glass attachment points.
6. Release and remove the damaged glass safely.
7. Insert the replacement pane into the guides.
8. Secure it to the regulator using the correct factory attachment method.
9. Operate the window and check alignment before reassembly.
10. Refit the moisture barrier, connectors and door trim.

Safety: Automotive glass can cause serious cuts if mishandled. Installation should be performed by a competent technician if you are not experienced with door trim, regulators and automotive glazing.

Allow approximately 0.75-1.5 hours as a general workshop estimate. Corroded fixings, damaged regulators, previous repairs or broken glass inside the door can increase labour time.

Labour figures are estimates only and are not quotations.

THE PART PILOT can also provide fitting and repair services subject to workshop availability and prior arrangement.
