I think iv just found something.  My E9 window appears to have a different wider shape where the track ends. 
 

this is my e9  Looks like the plastic goes outwardCB26A784-9F0C-4CA2-AB9B-6986D0E5EFFB.thumb.jpeg.caa92f4476148cb0ff28188d420a1a52.jpeg

 

 

Saw this picture of a cracked frame a couple pages back. Look where the track ends the plastic goes straight upD5CD3D3D-2F3A-4E72-AD51-775420CD9B54.jpeg.07b5037044913335cf9e1cd94229d5cf.jpeg

My double cracked frame is an E9. 

It was your picture I put in my post. But the actual plastic sliding frames in our windows are different

My E9 is the same wider and differently shaped design... maybe it is a fix to the frame? Just because the window is an E9 doesn’t mean the frame is the same.

Did the dreaded look inside after the bath this morning. Still going strong on the new window with no leaks!2dc2e9edb40cb6a8b619670164185b34.jpg

oh yeah, just noticed those E9 windows posted are the Vitro model. The E4 I posted is the Fuayo.

 

So....

I don’t think it’s the window that’s leaking, I think it got more to do with the dumb ass plastic spoiler they put on top, trying to save space for window mechanism, from inside the cab, 19 LD and back didn’t have these problems because they had solid roof panels, from windshield to rear window

Some of the numbers have to do with country of manufacture and certification

100 days? What are they hand crafting the parts for it? You must be more patient then me.  I would have gone sideways way before then..

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
