Replacing the Sunroof on Your 2018-2024 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
Working on an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera isn't your average glass job. That twin-turbo V12 is an absolute piece of art, and the roof glass is just as specialized. If the sunroof on your 2018-2024 DBS is cracked, shattered, or leaking, you need a technician who knows exactly how to handle high-end British automotive glass. I've spent years replacing auto glass, and I treat these cars with the exact level of respect they demand.
You don't want just anybody prying around the roofline of a quarter-million-dollar grand tourer. We handle the entire job right in your own garage. Whether you keep the car parked safely in Vaughan, up in Richmond Hill, or over in a Markham driveway, we bring our fully equipped mobile service directly to you anywhere across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
How We Handle the Replacement Process
Here is exactly how I tackle a sunroof replacement on a DBS Superleggera to make sure it looks and functions like it just rolled out of the factory in Gaydon:
- Interior Protection: First things first, we protect the cabin. I cover those hand-stitched leather seats, the center console, and the Alcantara headliner with heavy-duty protective blankets. Broken tempered glass has a habit of getting everywhere, so taking the time to prep the interior is non-negotiable.
- Safe Glass Removal: I carefully cut out the damaged sunroof panel. Aston Martins have incredibly tight tolerances, so I use specialized wire-cutting tools to slice through the old factory urethane. This guarantees we don't put a single scratch on your paint or the surrounding carbon fiber trim.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old glass is out, I scrape the factory urethane track down to a smooth, flat surface. Any dirt, old glue, or moisture left behind will cause a leak later on. I make sure the pinch weld is completely bare and clean.
- Primer and Adhesive Application: I apply a premium bare-metal glass primer to the frame to stop any chance of rust and give the new glue a strong surface to bite into. After it flashes off, I run a thick, consistent bead of fast-curing, high-quality automotive urethane.
- Precision Installation: Setting the new glass is a two-man job on a car this wide. We drop the new sunroof panel in perfectly square, making sure the gaps are factory-tight and the glass sits flush with the roofline to keep wind noise out.
