Body
Rear window module
The rear window module is made up of
glass and a sheet metal frame. These parts
feature a special new technique called
plastic extrusion coating.
To avoid providing a starting point for
thieves, the hinges are covered by a spoiler.
This consists of glass-fiber-reinforced
plastic which expands only slightly when
exposed to heat. This results in narrow gap
tolerances here as well.
Side window module
The side windows are connected to the
panels and the trim plate by plastic
extrusion coating.
Setscrews are also incorporated into the
modules. The entire module is screwed
to the body.
Doors
The doors are installed to the body
as modular units with all of their
components assembled.
Doors can be adjusted for a precise fit to
the body openings.
The doors are sealed three ways to ensure
the fording capability of the Touareg.
