BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT 18-24 3S 3SD Heckscheibe

Genuine Bentley Continental GT Rear Window (Heckscheibe)

Series: 3S / 3SD (Third Generation: 2018–2024+)

For the third-generation Bentley Continental GT (Coupe), the rear window is a high-performance piece of glazing engineered for both thermal efficiency and acoustic insulation.

Primary Part Numbers

The part number for the rear screen varies slightly based on the regional market (European vs. North American) and specific features like tint or integrated antennas.

• Main Rear Window Assembly: 3S0845051 (Base Series)

• Common Revisions: 3S0845051B / 3S0845051C

• GTC (Convertible) Note: The 3S GTC uses a glass rear window bonded into the soft top (e.g., 3SD871011 assembly), which is significantly different from the fixed Coupe glass.

Key Features

• Acoustic Insulation: Like the windshield, the 3S Heckscheibe is constructed from laminated glass to ensure the cabin remains “Bentley quiet,” significantly reducing exterior wind noise.

• Integrated Antennas: The glass often contains the heating filaments which simultaneously serve as the Radio (FM/DAB) and TV antennas.

• Thermal Management: Features a high-efficiency heating grid for rapid defrosting and a solar-reflective coating to prevent cabin heat soak in the summer.

• ADAS Compatibility: In many configurations, the top edge of the rear glass provides the viewing area for the rearview mirror’s camera or light sensors.

Installation Requirements

• Bonded Seal: This is a structurally bonded part. It requires high-strength, low-conductivity automotive adhesive (Urethane) to maintain the vehicle’s structural rigidity.

• Calibration: If your car is equipped with a digital rearview mirror or certain advanced driver-assistance systems that use rear-facing cameras, the system may require calibration after the glass is replaced.

• Trim Strips: The surrounding chrome or black moldings (3W series legacy or 3S specific) are often damaged during removal and usually need to be replaced with the glass.
