Back Glass Replacement for the 1974-1990 Aston Martin Lagonda
Working on the classic wedge shape of a 1974-1990 Aston Martin Lagonda isn't an everyday job. These cars are rare, and replacing the rear glass takes a steady hand and a lot of patience. You can't just rip the old glass out like you would on a modern sedan. The trim is delicate, the body lines are sharp, and getting the fitment right means respecting the original craftsmanship. At AlexWindshield, we know how to handle vintage British glass without damaging the surrounding metal or interior.
Our Step-by-Step Replacement Process
When we pull up to your driveway or garage, we treat your Lagonda like it's our own. Here is exactly how we handle the back glass replacement:
- Interior Protection: The first thing I do is lay down heavy-duty drop cloths over those classic leather rear seats and the parcel shelf. Old glass loves to shatter into a million pieces, and we make sure not a single shard scratches the vintage upholstery.
- Careful Removal: We carefully extract the broken glass. Because the original chrome molding and rubber weatherstripping are incredibly hard to replace, we use specialized nylon pry tools to ease everything out without bending or snapping parts.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the glass is out, I scrape the pinch weld down to the bare metal if necessary. Rust is a common enemy on these older cars, so cleaning the channel completely is just part of doing the job right.
- Primer Application: We brush on a high-grade automotive primer to any exposed metal. This stops rust dead in its tracks and gives the new urethane something solid to bite into.
- Adhesive and Installation: Finally, we lay down a thick, consistent bead of premium urethane adhesive and set the new rear glass perfectly into place. We press it in evenly so it seals tight and lines up flush with the bodywork.
