Aston Martin DB9 Sunroof Replacement (2004-2016)
Working on an Aston Martin DB9 requires a steady hand and a lot of respect for British engineering. Between 2004 and 2016, these cars set the standard for grand tourers. But when the sunroof gets damaged, whether from a stray highway rock or an impact in the garage, you can't just slap a piece of replacement glass in there and call it a day. You need the job done right so the cabin stays dead quiet and perfectly dry.
If you drive your DB9 around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), you already know how rough our roads can get. We handle high-end glass replacements across the region, bringing our tools and expertise directly to your driveway or climate-controlled garage in Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham.
How We Handle the DB9 Sunroof Swap
The roof assembly on the DB9 is highly precise. A sloppy install means wind noise at highway speeds, which completely ruins the driving experience. Here is exactly how we tackle the replacement process in the field:
- Interior Protection: First things first, we cover those hand-stitched leather seats and the center console with heavy protective blankets. Glass shards and sticky adhesive do not belong anywhere near luxury upholstery.
- Careful Removal: We extract the shattered or cracked sunroof panel. We take our time here to avoid scratching the painted roofline or damaging the delicate track and motor mechanisms.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old glass is out, we strip away the old urethane. The pinch weld gets thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed. Any leftover dirt or old glue will cause annoying leaks down the road.
- Primer Application: We apply an OEM-grade primer to the bare metal and the edge of the new glass. This step guarantees the urethane actually bites into the surfaces for a permanent hold.
- High-Quality Adhesive Installation: Finally, we lay down a consistent bead of fast-curing, premium urethane adhesive. We drop the new glass into place, checking the flush alignment down to the millimeter so it sits exactly like it did from the factory.
