Average rating for Rear window replacement
4.9 • based on 297 reviews of 53 businesses
The rear windscreen of your vehicle does more than just allow you to see what’s behind you while you're driving.
It protects your interior from the elements, makes the car look stylish and provides structural integrity to the vehicle in the case of an accident.
It does have to put up with the harsh UV from the sun, as well as dirt and debris that gets thrown at it day after day, so damage to the window is almost inevitable. When the worst happens, AutoGuru will come to your rescue.
If you don’t have glass cover as part of your insurance, you could be looking at $250 and up for a rear window replacement.
For some vehicles, this can reach $800 and above depending on the make and model.
You may think that the rear window is just a piece of glass that allows you to see out the back of your car, but it is much more than what it seems.
It is a key structural integrity component, and any damage to it will reduce its ability to protect you and your family in the event of an accident.
The rear window is usually made from tempered glass, which is heated and cooled multiple times to increase its strength and safety aspects.
If it is damaged, it is designed to break into thousands of tiny pieces that are less sharp than the large shards a normal piece of glass would create when broken.
It also has a heating element built into it, to allow for demisting of the glass when the temperature outside is less than in the car.
Any cracks or chips in the glass: One of the most common problems, which can be caused by a wayward rock or other debris.
Rear window demister not working: the little orange lines on the rear window are part of the demister system, and if they break away or fail, most of the time a new rear window is required.
Shattered or completely broken rear window: This is stating the obvious, but if the rear window is shattered or completely broken, it’s time to have it replaced ASAP
Having a clear view of what is behind you is an important part of day to day driving, but have your vehicle’s safety features working at their optimum is another reason to have your rear window replaced as soon as it becomes damaged.
It will also keep your belongings safe and out of the weather and harsh elements.
L&M Windscreens
Absolutely couldn’t fault L& M Windscreens. They came to my house at very short notice and replaced a badly broken rear windscreen. The job was excellent and looked like brand-new. And it was about half the price quoted by O’Brien‘s. Highly recommended.
MJR Auto Glass ACT
At site job. Guys were early and did a professional job. They told me everything I needed to know about time frames etc., so that I knew what to do when they left. Highly recommended.
