    Is there a rear windshield equivalent of the Climate Comfort windscreen, 51317059703?

    Looking at installing the Climate Comfort windscreen, part number 51-31-7-059-703: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info2/51317059703.htm

    Does anyone know whether a similarly treated rear windshield exists?

    On RealOEM, I found this one: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...82#51318208469 Could that be it?

    Separately by while on the topic - and hope you don't mind the thread hijack OP - will the infrared coating block radar signals? i.e., effectively making a windshield mounted radar detector useless.

      No such thing for e46.

      I believe the coating will interfere but I don't know for a fact. If I recall correctly the newer cars have a cutout in the coating for the front facing camera so this is my hunch.

        That was my hunch too, that the radar detector would be impeded by the coating. Not that I condone speeding or evading the law. Asking for a friend.

          If I am not mistaken, (At least for BMWs) the black dotted area at the top of the windshield is for electronics.

          Surprisingly many people put their EZ Pass/Toll Reader or radar detector below that area.
