Glass Roof

Precise fixation of the target position with WITOL

The WITOL tolerance compensation system ensures perfect positioning of the glass roof in the vehicle structure. Glass roofs are very large and rigid components on which high tolerances can occur when they are connected to the car body. These tolerances and tensions between the components can even lead to breakage in glass components under certain circumstances.

With the use of the WITOLs, the glass roof is precisely fastened in the specified structure. Possible tolerances at critical points are compensated flush with surface. The optimal course of the gap also benefits the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle.

Ideally suited even for minimal installation space

The very limited installation space for glass roofs is an additional challenge during installation. WITOLs are designed for fastening glass roofs and fit perfectly into the roof structure. The automatic tolerance levelling process is therefore reliable, even when installation space is very limited.

For purely fixed glass roofs, specific mounting brackets enable one or more mechanical screw connections with tolerance compensation in addition to bonding. These increase structural safety by reliably holding the roof in position even if the adhesive connection fails.

These WITOLs are used for the glass roof

  • WITOL Surface

    If a constant and flat distance between the surface and the screw-on plane is required, the highly integrative WITOL Surface is used. This is made possible by the innovative relocation of the functional area to the interior of the component structure.
