Aston Martin DB9 Quarter Glass Replacement (2004-2016)
Working on an Aston Martin DB9 is always a good day, right up until you have to clean up shattered glass. If your 2004-2016 DB9 has a busted quarter window, you already know this isn't a job you hand off to a random drive-up shop. The aluminum body lines on the DB9 require exact precision, and those leather interior panels are way too expensive to risk scratching. I've spent years cutting out old glass and setting new windows, and I treat every luxury car that comes through AlexWindshield with the respect it deserves.

My Step-by-Step Replacement Process
Swapping the quarter glass on these British grand tourers takes patience. I don't rush the process. Here is how I handle the installation from start to finish:
- Interior Protection: First, I lay down heavy protective blankets over your rear seats and delicate trim. Tempered glass shatters into thousands of tiny pieces, so I spend extra time vacuuming the cabin and the inner body cavities to get every last shard out.
- Trim & Glass Removal: I carefully pop off the interior trim pieces. The retaining clips on a 2004-2016 model can be brittle from age, so I use specialized plastic pry tools. Then, I cut out the remaining glass and old adhesive without touching your paint.
- Surface Cleaning: I trim the old urethane bead down to a flat, even base on the pinch weld. Next, I wipe down the bare metal and the edge of the replacement glass with an industrial-grade glass prep solvent to strip away dust and finger oils.
- Primer Application: Any scratches on the pinch weld get a coat of black rust-preventative primer. I also prime the edge of the new quarter glass to make sure the adhesive creates a permanent chemical bond.
- Setting the Glass: I apply a thick, continuous bead of premium, fast-curing automotive urethane. I set the new glass perfectly flush with the DB9's body lines, using retention tape to hold it exactly in place while the glue sets up.
