Tell me about my Rear Window Replacement
The rear window (rear windscreen) provides visibility, weather protection, and structural support for your vehicle. If it becomes cracked, shattered, or severely chipped, it compromises safety and security. Replacing a damaged rear window restores visibility, prevents leaks, and keeps your vehicle secure.
What is a rear window replacement?
This service involves removing the damaged rear windscreen, cleaning the frame of old adhesive and glass, and fitting a new rear window with professional-grade sealant to ensure a watertight and secure fit.
Why do you need a rear window replacement?
A damaged rear window weakens your vehicle’s structural integrity, reduces rear visibility, and makes your car vulnerable to theft and weather damage. Replacing it ensures safety, comfort, and compliance with road laws.
Common signs you need a rear window replacement
- Cracks or chips spreading across the rear glass
- Shattered or missing rear window
- Water leaks into the cabin when it rains
- Wind noise or rattling from the rear window
- Rear defroster not working due to damaged wiring in the glass
What happens during a rear window replacement?
A professional technician will:
- Remove the damaged glass safely
- Clean and prepare the mounting frame
- Apply automotive-grade adhesive
- Install the new rear window securely
- Reconnect and test the rear defroster (if equipped)
- Check for leaks and proper fit
How much does a rear window replacement cost?
Replacement typically costs $400–$800, depending on the vehicle make, model, and whether the glass includes a rear defroster or antenna. Luxury vehicles may cost more.
Is it unsafe to drive with a damaged rear window?
Yes. A broken or cracked rear window compromises visibility, safety, and security. It may also make your car illegal to drive. The window should be replaced immediately.
