Back Window Replacement

As an auto glass repair service we hear the story a lot when you don’t check properly before reversing into a car space and end up hitting that low hanging branch or pole that comes smashing through your back window. The rear glass is often some of the thinnest in your vehicle and leads to it being quite easy to break, a safety feature for car accidents allowing you to get out of the car easily. The problem with rear windows is that they can be quite tricky to install, with electric heaters needing to be attached and windshield wipers that need to be installed in them, the last thing you want is an inexperienced glazier installing your window and your wipers not working properly.
 
Back Window Suppliers
Finding the right piece of glass is the most essential part of a successful install, there can be many variations that will fit but aren’t quite the same as the original piece of glass - we only select genuine windows to replace the broken ones in your car, so you know that it is exactly the same as the day it rolled out of the factory. We are connected with one of the largest auto glass suppliers in the country and can acquire almost any piece of glass that you need! So whether you drive a Toyota Camry or a Delorean, we can help you source the glass you need so your car stays in original condition.
 
Heating Wires and Accessories
The thing with back windows is that they often have accessories fitted to them, the heating wires for your defrost are normally adhered to the surface, along with windshield wiper and rear tail lights that all need to be wired up during installation. Depending on the car, this can be a simple process or it can be considerably complex, so it’s important to go to a team that will get it right for you. At SF Windshield Repair and Auto Glass Service we have trained our staff to be proficient with all glass installs, no matter what accessories have to be fitted at the same time.
 
Installation
Despite it seeming like a fairly simple process, there is quite a lot that is involved in installing a glass, from removing the old glass and sealant, cleaning the space, making sure that any accessories are set up and ready to go and finally installing the glass and being certain that it is in position and sealed properly - it can be quite a nightmare for someone that isn’t experienced. Our team have all had the proper training to be sure they can install glass seamlessly.
 
High Quality Sealants
The sealant used around your window doesn’t just prevent the rain coming in but it holds your window in place during heavy braking and even during a car accident, the last thing you want is your windshield flying off the next time you hit the brakes a bit too hard. We only use high quality sealants that are rated for the pressures of driving and cure properly to prevent anything coming in or out.
