Rear Windscreen Replacement

Back Windshield Replacement

When assessing the most appropriate approach to carrying out car window repairs, there are several things our auto glass technicians must take into account. These include the extent to which the car glass has been damaged and where it is located.

Our technicians strive to provide the most efficient and economical solutions to our customers and therefore will opt to repair the car window whenever possible. As well as being cheap and easy, car window repairs are more environmentally friendly than car window replacement as less raw materials are required.

 

Despite striving to provide the most economical, efficient and environmentally friendly solution possible, when it comes to back windscreens, it is most likely that a full rear windscreen replacement will be required. There are several reasons for this, including the fact that rear windscreens are made of toughened glass and often contain heating elements. 

 

Rear Windscreen Replacement Process

If your back windshield needs to be replaced, rest assured that our technicians will handle the job with ease. Our vehicle windscreen services include a thorough process for rear windscreen replacement, ensuring your car is back on the road quickly and safely. First, our technicians will carefully remove any shattered glass remaining inside the car before covering the car’s interior to protect it during the auto glass repair procedure. Next, the old adhesive holding the existing back windscreen in place is meticulously removed. Once cleared, the technician proceeds with the rear windscreen replacement, fitting the new glass securely.

Our technicians are trained in the latest windscreen technologies and use only the highest quality bonding materials, ensuring that every windscreen replacement is performed to the highest standard.

Common Causes of Rear Windscreen Damage

Rear windscreens can suffer damage from a variety of sources, and understanding these causes can help you prevent costly repairs. Accidental impacts, such as those from a rear-end collision or a stray object hitting your car, are among the most common reasons for rear windscreen damage. Vandalism, though unfortunate, is another frequent cause, often resulting in shattered glass.

Environmental factors, including severe hailstorms or sudden temperature changes, can also lead to cracks or complete breakage. Addressing rear windscreen damage promptly is crucial to avoid further complications and maintain the safety of your vehicle.

Importance of OEM Glass for Rear Windscreen Replacement

When it comes to replacing your rear windscreen, opting for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) glass is essential for ensuring quality and compatibility. OEM glass is made to the exact specifications of your vehicle, which means it fits perfectly and maintains the structural integrity of your car.

Using OEM glass also helps in preserving your vehicle’s warranty and ensures that the rear windscreen will function correctly with any built-in heating or antenna systems. Choosing OEM glass for your rear windscreen replacement guarantees long-term reliability and safety on the road.

How To Replace a Rear Windscreen

 

Unlike front windscreens, rear windscreens are made from toughened glass which means that any significant impact will cause the glass to shatter. To drive legally on UK roads you will need to get the entire back windscreen replaced as soon as possible.

 

  1. A glass technician arrives at your location
  2. They thoroughly inspect the vehicle for existing damage
  3. The back seats are covered and the vehicle paintwork outside the vehicle is masked off to prevent any damage to your vehicle
  4. The glass technician uses a special tool to remove the seals of glue holding the back car windscreen in place
  5. A primer is applied to the vehicles framework and the new back window glass is fitted matching the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) standards.
  6. The primer is then allowed to dry and any original fittings will be replaced along with the windscreen wipers.
