Rear Window Replacement
Rear glass often carries more than you'd expect — defrost elements, radio antennas, third brake lights, and wiper motors. We replace the glass and make sure every connected component works before you drive away.
When to consider this service
Glass has shattered
Like side windows, most rear windshields are tempered glass and are replaced rather than repaired.
Defrost lines no longer working
Damage that severs the defrost grid requires replacement.
Why it's worth doing right
Electrical components reconnected
Defrost grids, antenna leads, and third brake lights are carefully reconnected and tested.
Careful trim handling
Interior trim and weatherstripping are removed and reinstalled with care to avoid damage.
How it works, step by step
- 1
Component mapping
We identify which electrical elements are integrated into your rear glass.
- 2
Old glass removal
The damaged pane and trim are carefully removed.
- 3
New glass installation
The replacement is bonded and seated to factory tolerances.
- 4
Function test
Defrost, antenna, wiper, and lighting elements are tested before handoff.
Vehicle considerations
- Some rear windshields are structural on hatchbacks and SUVs — proper cure time still applies.
