Rear Vent Glass Configuration and Door Architecture
If you are looking for a separate vent lite on the rear door, you will not find one. While Chrysler shared the JS platform across both the Sebring sedan and the subsequent Chrysler 200, the Dodge Avenger departed from its platform siblings by eliminating the rear division post entirely. Sebring and 200 doors rely on a separate stationary vent glass cataloged under NAGS part DV11318, but the Avenger uses a full-length, single-piece rear door glass that drops straight down into the door shell.
Because there is no fixed division bar splitting the opening, any damage to the rear passenger glass requires replacing the main movable window pane. In the Avenger, this tempered unit slides entirely within an EPDM rubber door glass run channel seated directly into the stamped steel door frame. The lack of a quarter glass or stationary triangular pane simplifies the perimeter seals, though the door's high beltline and wide rear C-pillar make proper glass alignment critical to prevent binding against the weatherstripping.
Part Numbers, Solar Tint, and Hardware Layout
The Avenger door glass is straightforward tempered safety glass tinted in the standard factory green solar hue across every trim level, from the base SE and mid-tier SXT up to the R/T and later 3.6-liter Pentastar-equipped models. You will not find embedded defroster lines, radio antenna wiring, or acoustic dampening interlayers anywhere in these side panels. The pane mounts straight to a cable-driven regulator assembly secured to the steel inner door skin.
When I replace broken side glass on these doors, I source strictly aftermarket panels from manufacturers like Pilkington, PGW, FYG, or XYG, ensuring the replacement matches the original green solar glass thickness and factory drop-in tolerances. The table below outlines how the Avenger rear glass catalogs compared to its platform counterparts:
| Vehicle Application | Glass Position | NAGS Identifier | Glass Construction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dodge Avenger (2008–2014) | Left Rear Door | DD11310 | Single-piece tempered drop glass |
| Dodge Avenger (2008–2014) | Right Rear Door | DD11311 | Single-piece tempered drop glass |
| Chrysler Sebring / 200 Sedan | Rear Vent (Stationary) | DV11318 | Division bar vent glass pane |
Regulator Failures and Door Channel Mechanics
Many owners suspect their side glass is cracked or dislodged when the window suddenly falls into the bottom of the door cavity without warning. On the Avenger, this is almost always tied to the plastic retention clips snapping on the cable-style power window regulator. When those plastic brackets fail, the tempered DD11310 or DD11311 panel drops free inside the door frame. If the pane does not shatter on the bottom impact, it can often be re-secured; if it hits the internal door crash beam at an angle, the tempered tension breaks and the entire pane disintegrates into granular pieces.
Whenever the pane does shatter, the bottom channel within the EPDM rubber run must be cleared thoroughly. Leaving fragments behind within the vertical tracks will chew into the edges of the replacement glass or jam the aftermarket panel as the electric motor pulls the cables taut along the regulator track.
