Replacing the Back Glass on a 2012-2018 Aston Martin Vanquish
Working on an Aston Martin Vanquish isn't your average Tuesday job. The 2012-2018 models have a distinct rear profile, and when that back glass takes a hit, you need a technician who respects the engineering. At AlexWindshield, we don't just swap parts; we understand the precise tolerances of luxury British sports cars. If your Vanquish has a shattered or cracked rear window, you want it handled with absolute care and the right tools.
Mobile Service Across the GTA
You probably don't want to drive a high-end coupe with a busted back window across town. That's why we bring the shop directly to you. Whether you have the car parked in a heated garage in Vaughan, your driveway in Richmond Hill, or at your office in Markham, our mobile team covers the entire Greater Toronto Area (GTA). We show up fully equipped to handle the job on the spot.
Our Step-by-Step Replacement Process
The rear glass on the second-generation Vanquish houses heating elements and sits flush with the carbon-fiber body panels. Here is exactly how we handle the replacement in the real world:
- Interior Protection: First things first. We cover those hand-stitched leather seats and the rear cabin area with heavy-duty drop cloths. We make sure zero glass shards or old glue debris get inside your car.
- Careful Removal: We use specialized wire cutting tools to slice through the old urethane. Prying tools can easily damage the paint or carbon fiber, so we take our time to separate the damaged glass cleanly from the frame.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old glass is out, we strip the remaining adhesive down to a thin, even layer. We then clean the pinch weld thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, and any loose glass dust.
- Primer Application: Any bare metal or exposed spots get a coat of high-grade automotive primer. This prevents rust down the line and gives the new glue a solid base to bite into.
- Adhesive and Installation: We run a thick, consistent bead of premium, fast-curing urethane adhesive. Then, using suction cups and a two-man lift, we set the new OEM-quality back glass perfectly into place. We hook up the defroster lines and tape the glass down while the urethane cures.
