Front Window of t@b Hinge Broken

Hops · September 2024

There are photos with this post.
Have others had this problem?
Asking for advice, comments, possible DIY fix.

I have a 2017 320S. The plastic hinge piece on the front window has cracked and doesn't hold the window in securely anymore. I am told I need a whole new window as a replacement plastic piece is not available. Perhaps someone sells a replacement hinge(I've seen the galley hinge sold).

Please review the photos and offer any suggestions or input.

By the way..I can still prop my window up, but it falls out of the hinge easily.

Thank you for participating in the discussion and the problems with the plastic hinge piece failing. So, I gather you reached your whole windows and not just the hinge. Is that correct,?

Yes, there is no fix I'm aware of. I recently purchased two new windows with the new metal hinge design, which I will have installed this Saturday. It's only a matter of time before the window I currently have fail again.

Has anyone replaced the front window of a 400 themselves? I ordered a new window assembly (about $600) and I am looking for installation advice or video.

@Hops, I am not aware of any specific replacement for the hinge, but maybe (if you have not already seen it) this fairly recent discussion (by @Maxcamp) regarding replacing the front window of a 2021 T@B 320 S will be helpful to you:

Also, this company has been mentioned previously as a possible source for parts, so you might consider contacting them for suggestions:
