Smart 450 City Coupe Fortwo 05/98-01/07 Right Front Quarter Glass 0000558V013
This listing is for the fixed triangular front quarterlight / quarter window glass assembly on the physical RIGHT side of a first-generation Smart 450 Coupe. On UK right-hand-drive cars this is the driver / offside. On left-hand-drive cars it remains the physical right side and will normally be the passenger side.
The photographed assembly includes the quarter glass, black encapsulated surround/seal area and the long metal window guide/channel. The guide is important because it helps locate and support the front edge of the main drop glass as it travels inside the door.

The quarterlight is a fixed safety-glass panel; it does not raise or lower electrically. Its assembly contributes to the front-door glazing system by closing and sealing the fixed front section of the window aperture. The attached guide/channel helps keep the moving main window aligned as it travels.
A correctly shaped factory-fit component helps preserve glass alignment, sealing, weather protection, door appearance and the intended window-guide geometry.
- Cracked, chipped or shattered fixed quarter glass.
- Wind whistle or excessive road noise around the front edge of the door glass.
- Water ingress caused by damaged glass, surround or disturbed sealing surfaces.
- Loose/rattling quarterlight or visible movement in the assembly.
- Main window glass tilting, binding or running poorly if the attached guide/channel is bent or damaged.
- Poor appearance, reduced security or exposed sharp/broken glazing after impact damage.
For a body/glazing component, correct curvature, mounting geometry, encapsulation, tint and guide alignment matter. An original factory-fit part was made for the 450 door system, which can reduce the trimming, adjustment and fit uncertainty sometimes encountered with low-cost pattern copies.
Choosing a professionally checked recycled factory-fit part can also make strong financial sense. On some vehicle parts the saving versus a new replacement can reach around 70%, depending on the part, current new retail price and availability. This is a potential saving, not a guaranteed percentage on every item.
Most important: correct fitment beats price alone. Use the compatibility table and compare your old component before installation.
T25/T30 Torx bits, small ratchet/socket set, screwdriver set, plastic trim tools, pick/hook tool, masking tape, protective gloves, eye protection and glass cleaner. Replacement clips/seals may be required if the originals are damaged during removal.
- Before dismantling anything, confirm C450 Coupe body, physical RIGHT side, part shape, guide/channel shape and old-part reference.
- Switch ignition off. Position and secure the main drop glass as required for safe access.
- Carefully remove the mirror/upper triangular trim and the relevant Smart 450 door trim/panel components. A T25 Torx fixing is used at the upper side-support area on this door system.
- Remove weatherstrips/seals and clips without stretching or tearing them.
- Support the moving door glass if the front guide is being released. Remove the quarterlight/guide fasteners and withdraw the assembly without twisting the tempered glass.
- Transfer serviceable seals/clips only where appropriate. Install the replacement assembly and make sure the guide/channel sits square.
- Before fully reassembling, test the main window through its full travel and check for binding, tilt or contact.
- Reassemble the door, then check glass alignment, door closing, water sealing and wind noise.
