Quarter Glass Replacement for Aston Martin Vantage (V550/V600) 1993-2000
Working on a classic powerhouse like the 1993-2000 Aston Martin Vantage—whether you have the V550 or the twin-supercharged V600—takes a steady hand and a lot of patience. These aren't your everyday commuters. They are hand-built, coachbuilt machines. When a piece of quarter glass gets damaged, you need a technician who actually understands how these 90s British legends were put together. At AlexWindshield, we know how to handle the delicate exterior trim and tight aluminum body tolerances of the Vantage so you don't have to stress about snapped clips or scratched paint.
How We Handle the Replacement Process
Swapping out the quarter glass on a classic Aston Martin isn't a quick job you rush through. The seals are older, replacement trim is incredibly hard to find, and the factory pinch welds require absolute precision. Here is exactly how we get the old glass out and the new glass in safely:
- Interior Protection: First things first, we tape off the surrounding bodywork and cover up your Connolly leather seats and carpets. Shards of broken glass and heavy-duty urethane do not mix with vintage luxury interiors.
- Careful Removal: We extract the exterior window moldings using specialized non-marring tools. Then, we carefully cut through the old factory adhesive to lift the damaged quarter glass out without putting any pressure on the aluminum body panels.
- Surface Prep & Cleaning: Once the broken glass is out of the way, we scrape the pinch weld down to a flat, clean surface. We clear out all the trapped dirt, old glue, and debris that has built up in the window channel since the 90s.
- Primer Application: Any spots of bare metal get a coat of high-grade automotive glass primer. This step stops rust from forming down the road and helps the new glue bite firmly into the frame.
- Adhesive & Installation: We lay down a thick, consistent bead of premium, fast-curing urethane adhesive. Finally, we set the new quarter glass perfectly into place, secure the original trim, and let the urethane cure properly before the car moves.
