Roof Rack for BMW 3 Series: Tempered Glass
This roof rack for the BMW 3 Series is specified around tempered glass, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is packing that arrived crushed at the port, or a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 3000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
