Sunroof Replacement for Aston Martin Lagonda 1974-1990
Working on an Aston Martin Lagonda from the 1974-1990 production run is always an interesting day. That iconic wedge design and the heavy reliance on early electronics make it a completely different beast compared to what rolls off the assembly line today. If your Lagonda's sunroof is cracked, leaking, or the seals have completely rotted out around the glass, you need a technician who actually knows how to handle vintage British luxury cars without breaking hard-to-find trim pieces.
How We Handle Classic Auto Glass
I've replaced glass on thousands of vehicles, and older Aston Martins require serious patience. You can't just pry things apart and hope for the best. Here is exactly how we swap out the sunroof while keeping your classic interior safe.
- Interior Protection: The Lagonda is packed with vintage leather and delicate dash components. We start by laying down thick protective drop cloths over the front seats, center console, and floorboards to catch any debris.
- Careful Removal: We unbolt the old glass panel from the mechanical tracks. If the sunroof is shattered, we spend extra time vacuuming every tiny shard out of the drainage channels. Leftover glass will grind the tracks to a halt and cause major leaks down the road.
- Surface Cleaning: Old weatherstripping and decades-old factory sealants get completely stripped away. We clean the metal track frame down to the bare surface so the new materials actually stick.
- Primer and Adhesive Application: We brush on a high-grade automotive glass primer to block rust from forming on the vintage roof frame. After that flashes off, we lay down a thick bead of premium urethane adhesive or seat the exact rubber gaskets required for this specific 70s and 80s assembly.
- Final Installation: We drop the new sunroof panel in, align it perfectly flush with the roofline to kill any wind whistle, and run a thorough water test to guarantee the seal is watertight.
