- rationale
- Explanation of the row’s ratings under the stated criteria.
Statistics are computed from the published finite values. Quantiles use linear interpolation at (n − 1) × p. Associations can reflect shared assessment assumptions; no statistical significance or real-world causal effect is implied. The article explains the assessment method and limitations.
BMW X6 rates 1.47/2 for rear-glass curvature, versus 0.20/2 for Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Cadillac Escalade ESV rates 1.99/2 for vehicle-height burden, versus 1.03/2 for Porsche Macan. Tesla Model X rates 1.82/2 for glazing-area impression, versus 0.60/2 for Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Installation-complexity impression and window-count burden have a tie-aware Spearman rank correlation of 0.42. On our 0–2 rating scales, Tesla Model X receives 1.49 for installation-complexity impression and 1.69 for window-count burden; Honda Prologue receives 0.79 and 1.11, respectively.
Installation-complexity impression has a positive but far from one-to-one rank association with window-count burden. Panel count is part of the comparison without settling the overall order. Curvature, edge finishing and access provide other useful distinctions to examine together. The selection is heavily weighted toward SUVs and crossovers, which limits comparisons across the broader passenger-car market. Start with a row that matches the actual generation and body style, then resolve the unknown glazing details. The ratings can organize questions for an installer, but they cannot replace an inspection or establish what a job should cost. Missing frame information should remain open rather than being assigned a convenient default.
SUVs and crossovers account for 89/100 rows. Door-glass frame is Unknown for 94/100 names. A universal price or labor ranking would be a poor reading of this selection. Its useful scope is a comparison of geometry questions within a mostly SUV-oriented catalog, with unresolved details clearly retained.
Body family is unresolved for 1/100 entries, leaving 99 rows for named-group comparisons. The primary rating has an exact tie spanning 6 entries; rounding to one decimal puts as many as 27 together. Read nearby positions as broad clusters rather than distinct tiers.
What the ratings show
The analysis covers 100 rows and 18 fields.
The spread in Installation-complexity impression
Across 100 usable values, Installation-complexity impression runs from 0.79 to 1.49 on the 0–2 rating scale. The median is 1.11; the middle half of rows falls between 1.01 and 1.23. That middle-half range is 0.22, compared with a full range of 0.7. There are 0 missing or non-finite values in this field.
The rank is a sorting aid, not a confidence statement. Small gaps between subjective ratings do not establish meaningful differences. Use the full row and its assumptions when making a shortlist.
Comparing Body family groups
The Pickup or van group has a median Installation-complexity impression of 1.13 across 9 rows; SUV or crossover has 1.1 across 89. Their medians differ by 0.03. The middle half of Pickup or van runs from 1.06 to 1.15, compared with 1 to 1.25 for SUV or crossover. This comparison includes 2 groups with at least five rows each; 2 rows are outside those groups (including unknown labels and small groups). Different group composition can explain the difference, so it is not an isolated effect of the group label.
Comparing Rear-glass form groups
The Upright group has a median Installation-complexity impression of 1.15 across 48 rows; Sloped has 1.08 across 22. Their medians differ by 0.07. The middle half of Upright runs from 1.06 to 1.26, compared with 0.98 to 1.19 for Sloped. This comparison includes 2 groups with at least five rows each; 30 rows are outside those groups (including unknown labels and small groups). Different group composition can explain the difference, so it is not an isolated effect of the group label.
Which fields move together
- Trim-interface complexity and Installation-complexity impression: Spearman rho = 0.84 across 100 complete pairs. Higher values tend to accompany higher Installation-complexity impression values within these rows.
- Film-waste sensitivity and Installation-complexity impression: Spearman rho = 0.76 across 100 complete pairs. Higher values tend to accompany higher Installation-complexity impression values within these rows.
- Heat-forming complexity and Installation-complexity impression: Spearman rho = 0.69 across 100 complete pairs. Higher values tend to accompany higher Installation-complexity impression values within these rows.
- Vehicle-height burden and Installation-complexity impression: Spearman rho = 0.60 across 100 complete pairs. Higher values tend to accompany higher Installation-complexity impression values within these rows.
These are descriptive associations, not causal findings. They can reflect the assessment’s shared assumptions, linked scoring rubrics or repeated scenario structure. Correlated ratings are not independent confirmation of one another.

Reproducing the analysis
Download the complete CSV, retain finite numeric values, and sort the ranking field in the descending direction. Quantiles use linear interpolation at (n − 1) × p; group statistics use the same method. Spearman correlations use average ranks for ties and use only complete numeric pairs. No significance tests or confidence intervals are reported: these assessments are not a random sample of measured outcomes.
How we compared the entries
We use AI-assisted scoring against the criteria shown for each column. These ratings are subjective editorial assessments, not physical tests or measurements. The assessments use candidate names and descriptions; no independent product testing or field research was performed.
Catalog scope: model-suggested identities from the original cohort; not independently verified.
Scores follow the ordered criteria shown in the table; decimals indicate positions between those anchors, not measurement precision. Associations describe patterns in these assessments and do not establish cause. Category labels and candidate identities can contain errors.
