Overview

What back window replacement involves

Rear glass behaves differently to a front windscreen. It is toughened rather than laminated, so instead of cracking it usually breaks into thousands of small blunt pieces that end up through the boot, the parcel shelf and the back seats.

That means a back window replacement is two jobs in one: clearing out the broken glass properly, then fitting and sealing the new rear glass. Most rear windows also carry a demister element and sometimes an aerial, and those connections need to be reconnected so they work as they did before.

We replace rear glass on sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, vans and four wheel drives.

When this service is needed

  • The rear glass has shattered

    A knock, an attempted break in or a sudden stress failure will usually leave toughened rear glass in pieces rather than cracked.

  • Something has struck the back of the vehicle

    Debris from the road, a reversing knock or an object falling onto the rear can be enough to break the glass.

  • The demister has stopped working

    If the heating element in the glass has failed, the rear window fogs and stays fogged. This matters most in winter.

  • A break in

    Rear glass is a common entry point. If it has been smashed, the vehicle is open to the weather until it is replaced.

On the day

How the mobile service works for this job

We come to you with the replacement glass and a vacuum for the clean out. Toughened glass travels a long way inside a vehicle, so allow a little extra time for this job compared with a front windscreen. We need access to the rear of the vehicle and enough room to open the boot or tailgate fully.

Back Window Replacement — questions we are asked

Will you clear the broken glass out of my car?
Yes. Clearing the broken glass is part of the job. We vacuum out the boot, the rear seats and the door wells before fitting the new rear glass.
Does the new rear glass include the demister?
Rear glass is supplied with the demister element in it where your vehicle came with one, and we reconnect it as part of the fitting.
My rear window shattered but the car still drives. Is that a problem?
The vehicle is open to weather and anything left inside is exposed. It is worth getting the glass replaced promptly. Call us and we can arrange a time.
Can you replace rear glass on a van?
Yes. We work on vans, including rear barn doors and tailgate glass, as well as cars, wagons and four wheel drives.
What do you need to quote a back window?
The make, model and year, whether the vehicle has a demister or aerial in the rear glass, and a photo of the damage where possible.
