Rear Windshield (Rear Window) Replacement

When it comes to replacing their rear window – also known as the rear windshield – our customers have many questions. Please take a moment to read through the most common questions we receive.

What do you call the glass at the back of a car?

The glass on the front of the car is usually what people mean by “windshield replacement” when they hear this. So when we ask you about your damage, we are referring to the “rear windshield” or “rear window” as the “back glass”. To avoid confusion, we get really specific with our customers about which piece of glass they need.

What does it cost to replace the back windshield or glass?

Depending on the year, make and model, prices range from $200 to more than $1000. It simply depends on the year, make and model of the vehicle. Since we replace windshields and other pieces of auto glass on a variety of cars, trucks, and SUV’s, it is easy to imagine that there are quite a few different pieces of glass involved in the replacement process.

What are the lines on the back windshield – (rear window or back glass)?

Heat is transferred to the glass through those fine wires. Defrosting ice and defogging the back glass is made easier by using this method. During the replacement process, we test the defrosting feature and connect the replacement wiring harness.

Feel free to call us before contacting your insurance company so we can assist you with your decision. Working with insurance companies is what we do best.

Which windshield do I have?

It is becoming increasingly common for these types of questions to come up. In order to keep up with the increasing sophistication of vehicles, manufacturers are making cars that have numerous options pertaining to the glass that are available to them. When there are multiple options, a vehicle’s “VIN” can be the only way to determine what it needs. The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is the serial number of the vehicle. This number tells us exactly what piece of glass your car needs. The 17 digits in the VIN each serve a purpose.
