FAW Rear Window Glass: The 2-Component Secret to a Safe, Quiet Cab

Welcome to this in-depth technical guide to the FAW Rear Window Glass conjunto. Este é o completo, two-component “gasket-set” window system for the rear bulkhead of the FAW Jiefang CA4251P66K24T1A3E5 6×4 trator semirreboque diesel. This assembly is a critical component of the cab’s “safety cell,” providing the driver with essential rearward visibility while simultaneously creating an acoustic, thermal, and weatherproof seal.

O “lógica” do FAW Rear Window Glass system is one of “floating” security. Unlike the bonded front windscreen, this assembly uses a heavy-duty, one-piece ‘Sealing strip’ (5603038-A86-C00) that both holds the ‘Rear window glass’ (5603026-A86) in place and seals it against the cab’s metal frame. Esse “lógica” provides excellent durability against chassis flex and makes field replacement simpler.

This expert analysis is an essential resource for cab technicians, especialistas em reparos de colisões, and parts managers. Vamos desconstruir todo FAW Rear Window Glass assembly by analyzing its two critical Minimum Serviceable Units (Universidades Estadunidenses). We will explore the “Tempered Safety Logic” of the glass itself and the “Triple-Seal Logic” of its all-important EPDM rubber weatherstrip.

Universidade Estadual de Moscou 1: O “Tempered Safety Logic” of the Glass (5603026-A86) (O “Mais longo” Módulo)

The ‘Rear window glass’ (5603026-A86) is the primary component of the FAW Rear Window Glass sistema. This MSU is not just a simple pane of glass; it is a high-tech “Tempered Safety Glass” componente, and its “lógica” is entirely different from the *laminated* glass used in the front windscreen.

1. O “Tempering” Lógica (Strength & Safety):

“Tempering” is an industrial process where the cut glass is heated to over 600°C and then “quenched” (rapidly cooled) with high-pressure air. Esse “lógica” of thermal shock causes the outer surfaces of the glass to cool faster than the center, creating a state of high compression on the surface, balanced by high tension in the core.

This internal stress makes the FAW Rear Window Glass 4 para 5 times stronger than standard glass. Esse “strength logic” is essential for a truck, allowing the glass to easily withstand severe cab vibrations, thermal shock (like a hot sleeper on a cold night), and minor impacts from debris.

O “safety logic” is even more important. If the glass *does* break, the internal tension is released, and the *entire* pane instantly shatters into thousands of small, cube-like, relatively harmless “pebbles.” Este é um “dicing” fracture. Esse “lógica” is a deliberate choice for rear and side windows, as it prevents the large, razor-sharp “daggers” that are created when normal or laminated glass shatters, which could be fatal to a driver in a rollover or impact.

2. O “Visibilidade” Lógica (Operação):

O FAW Rear Window Glass is an essential tool for the driver. Isso é “lógica” is to provide a clear, distortion-free view of the trailer’s “kingpin” e o “fifth wheel.” This visibility is critical for safely and efficiently hooking up to a trailer, a task a driver may do multiple times per day.

It also provides a vital “blind spot” check, allowing the driver to glance back and ensure the trailer is tracking correctly, or to get a visual on the cab’s “headache rack” and the load. For this reason, the MSU must be OEM-quality optical-grade glass.

3. O “Frit” Lógica (UV Protection):

Like the front windscreen, o FAW Rear Window Glass features a “frit” – the baked-on, black ceramic border. This frit is not decorative; it is a critical “lógica” elemento.

Its primary function is to act as a UV light shield. The EPDM rubber ‘Sealing strip’ (Universidade Estadual de Moscou 2) that holds it in place is vulnerable to long-term sun exposure. This black ceramic band “lógica” completely blocks sunlight from hitting the “inner lip” of the gasket, preventing it from drying out, cracking, and shrinking, which would cause a leak.

Universidade Estadual de Moscou 2: O “Triple-Seal” Logic of the Sealing Strip (5603038-A86-C00)

The ‘Sealing strip-rear window glass’ (5603038-A86-C00) is the second half of the FAW Rear Window Glass sistema. This is a one-piece, molded EPDM rubber gasket, and it is the “lógica” behind the entire “gasket-set” instalação.

Material Logic (EPDM): This MSU is made from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) borracha. This material “lógica” is chosen for its superior resistance to:

• UV & Ozone: It will not crack or “dry-rot” from decades of sun exposure.
• Temperatura: It stays flexible in extreme cold (preventing leaks) and won’t get “gummy” in high heat.
• Compression Set: It has “memory,” meaning it constantly presses against the glass and the cab body to maintain a tight seal.

O “Triple-Seal” Lógica: This single gasket provides three critical sealing functions for the FAW Rear Window Glass.

• 1. Water Seal: This is its most obvious “lógica.” The compression fit of the rubber channel blocks all rain, neve, and wash water, preventing it from entering the cab, soaking the headliner, or ruining the sleeper.
• 2. Acoustic Seal: This dense, heavy rubber is a “lógica” barrier for noise. It stops high-frequency wind “assobiar” and blocks noise from the chassis, motor, and trailer from entering the cab.
• 3. Fume/Dust Seal: This is the critical safety “lógica.” It creates an airtight seal that prevents dust and, o mais importante, diesel exhaust fumes (which can be “sucked” into the low-pressure zone behind the cab) from entering the driver’s breathing area.

Installation & Falha “Lógica” of the 2-Part Assembly

O FAW Rear Window Glass and its seal are a “matched set.” O “lógica” of their design dictates their installation method, which is completely different from the bonded front windscreen.

Installation “Lógica” (Rope-In): This assembly uses a classic “rope-in” method.

1. The technician first wraps the ‘Sealing strip’ (Universidade Estadual de Moscou 2) around the edge of the ‘Rear window glass’ (Universidade Estadual de Moscou 1).
2. A strong nylon cord is then pressed into the “body channel” of the gasket, all the way around.
3. The entire assembly is placed into the cab opening from the *outside*.
4. A second technician, from the *inside*, slowly pulls the cord. Esse “lógica” of the cord pulling *out* of the channel *pulls* the inner lip of the gasket over the metal pinch weld, locking the FAW Rear Window Glass into place.

Falha “Lógica” & Facilidade de manutenção:

O vidro (Universidade Estadual de Moscou 1) fails from impact. The seal (Universidade Estadual de Moscou 2) fails from age. Sobre 7-10 anos, the EPDM rubber will slowly shrink, dry out, and harden.

Esse “shrinkage logic” é o #1 cause of leaks. The seal will pull apart at the corners, creating a visible “brecha,” or it will lose its “compression set,” allowing water to seep between the rubber and the glass.

Lógica de serviço: Both components are individual MSUs. No entanto, the best practice “lógica” is to *always* replace them as a set. The labor to remove and reinstall the glass is the same. Trying to re-use an old, hardened ‘Sealing strip’ is a false economy that will almost certainly result in a leak. Likewise, trying to install old, rigid, tempered glass into a new, tight rubber seal places immense stress on the glass, risking a stress fracture. O FAW Rear Window Glass assembly is designed to be replaced as a 2-part kit.
