Seamless integration

Allows a perfect fitting of the glazing module with the car body
02

Module sealing

Provides a solution to water and dirts tightness management with surrounding elements
03

Improve acoustic performance

Reduces noise and improves aerodynamics, especially for flush design structures
04

Customization

Seamlessly incorporates various aesthetic components like logos, trims, and division bars
05

Design and style

Offers manufacturers the opportunity to create complex glazing surface shapes as a unique styling element
