Series: 3S / 3SD (Third Generation)

The part number 3SD845099S refers to the high-specification front windscreen for the third-generation Bentley Continental GT and GTC. Due to the advanced technology in the 3S chassis, this windshield is a multi-layered component that integrates thermal, acoustic, and driver-assistance features.

1. Key Specifications & Features

The S suffix in this part number indicates the most premium glass configuration available for this model:

• Infrared (IR) Reflective: This glass features a special metallic interlayer that reflects heat-producing infrared rays, keeping the cabin significantly cooler in direct sunlight.

• Head-Up Display (HUD) Compatible: Unlike standard glass, this version has a specialized “wedge” interlayer that prevents “ghosting” or double-images for the Head-Up Display projected onto the glass.

• Acoustic Laminate: Specifically designed to reduce wind and road noise, maintaining the Bentley “vault-like” interior silence.

• Rain/Light Sensor Mount: Includes the factory-bonded bracket for the automatic wiper and headlight sensors.

3. Installation & Calibration Warning

Replacing the 3SD845099S windshield is not a standard “glass shop” procedure.

• ADAS Calibration: The front-facing cameras for Lane Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Adaptive Cruise Control are mounted to this glass. Once the new windshield is installed, the cameras must be recalibrated using a target board and diagnostic software (ODIS). If not done, your safety systems may malfunction or deactivate.

• Heated Area: Depending on the exact build, this glass often includes a heating element in the lower “wiper park” area to prevent blades from freezing to the glass.
