My ‘22 CA RT1 was a victim of a smash and grab (except they didn’t grab anything important). The passenger side rear door window was smashed, and I had a local glass shop replace the pane before I went on a road trip. This week I had time to inspect the replacement window and I see that the new window has a different Ford Engineering code than the OEM window on the driver side. See the Photos:

Passenger side (replacement OEM) window code LJ8B-R25712-AC
Ford Mustang Mach-E OEM Door Window spec B7E3C547-3137-4DCC-BBCB-E0348B36804A


Driver side (original OEM) window, code LJ8B-R25713-AC
Ford Mustang Mach-E OEM Door Window spec 2A3DC58E-5AF5-4C0F-A1C7-9FE5E78ADE17


note: the driver side door window above has an additional layer of window tint behind the OEM window tint, so it appears darker. .

What seems suspect to me is the new OEM replacement window has a “ 1 • “ code at the bottom of the trademark message vs. “2 ••••••” code on the original OEM window. Did the glass shop get a lower grade window for my Mach-E?

This is super helpful. I wonder if the older glass was cheaper, as this shop had a lower replacement cost than Safelite and others. Thank you @Mach-Lee!
