Tell me about my Side Window Replacement
The side windows in your vehicle provide visibility, safety, and protection from the weather. If a side window is cracked, shattered, or jammed, it compromises your safety, vehicle security, and driving comfort. Replacing a damaged side window restores visibility, prevents leaks, and ensures your car remains secure.
What is a side window replacement?
This service involves removing the broken or faulty side window, cleaning out any glass fragments, and installing a new window securely with the correct seals and fittings. The window regulator and motor are also checked to ensure smooth operation.
Why do you need a side window replacement?
A damaged or missing side window exposes your car to theft, rain, wind, and road noise. It can also make driving unsafe due to reduced visibility and lack of protection. A replacement ensures your vehicle is safe, comfortable, and compliant with road safety laws.

What happens during a side window replacement?
A professional technician will:

- Install the new side window securely
- Check and lubricate the regulator and seals
- Test the window for proper movement and sealing
- Ensure no rattles, leaks, or wind noise remain
How much does a side window replacement cost?
Replacement typically costs $250–$600, depending on the vehicle make, model, and whether the window is manual or electric. Luxury or frameless windows may cost more.
Is it unsafe to drive with a damaged side window?
Yes. A broken side window compromises visibility, safety, and security. It leaves your car exposed to theft and weather damage and may make it unroadworthy. Replacement should be done as soon as possible.
