A smashed rear (or black) window is inconvenient, hazardous and can leave your vehicle vulnerable to theft and weather damage. So, if your rear window shatters, it’s important to get it replaced as soon as possible.
Our expert vehicle glass technicians will place your rear window, hassle-free, so you can drive away with confidence and peace of mind that your vehicle is secure again.

How long does a rear window replacement take?

How long does a rear window replacement take?
Our expert technicians can replace your rear window in around 90 minutes. Once the job is completed you can drive away immediately.
We recommend avoiding washing your car (by hand or drive-through car wash) or touching, pushing or putting any pressure on the new glass within 24 hours after replacement, as this may interfere with the adhesive setting process.
How much does a rear window replacement cost?
The cost of replacing a rear window will depend on the make and model of your vehicle and whether you have insurance coverage for glass damage.
As Australia’s leading vehicle glass specialists, we work closely with most major insurance providers. If you are insured with glass cover and no excess, your repair or replacement will more than likely be at no cost to you. Plus, we often can even lodge the claim for you!
