Replacement Windshields Specification Example for Dealership Service: Folding Type
Replacement Windshields Specification Example for Dealership Service: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for replacement windshields in a folding type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The folding type version exists because the duty cycle on dealership service is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually reorders that did not match the approved sample.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Aluminium Alloy, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- shot blasting
- assembly line testing
- anodising
- gravity casting
- surface grinding
- cold forging
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for dealership service. Related applications include fleet maintenance, rental motorcycles, city buses, camper conversions, municipal fleets.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. REACH documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
