Sunroof Replacement for Aston Martin Virage 2011-2012
Working on a 2011-2012 Aston Martin Virage isn't your everyday job. When you are dealing with a hand-built British grand tourer, replacing a shattered or leaking sunroof takes serious precision. A damaged glass panel up top doesn't just ruin the sleek look of your Virage; it lets water pour in and wreck that high-end leather interior. I have spent years turning wrenches and swapping auto glass, and I can tell you right now that Aston Martins require a careful, experienced touch.
Why You Need a Pro for Your Virage Sunroof
You definitely don't want a rookie prying around the roofline of a V12 exotic.

At AlexWindshield, we bring top-tier mobile auto glass services directly to you anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Whether your car is parked safely in a garage in Vaughan, Richmond Hill, or Markham, we show up with the right tools for the job.
Our Step-by-Step Replacement Process
We do not cut corners. Here is exactly how my team and I tackle a sunroof swap on a 2011-2012 Virage:
- Interior Protection: First things first, we cover up your cabin. Aston interiors are expensive to fix, so we lay down heavy-duty protective drop cloths over the seats, dash, and center console to catch any stray glass or debris.
- Careful Removal: We carefully detach the interior trim and drop the sunroof motor assembly if the job calls for it. Then, we cut out the old urethane holding the damaged glass panel, making sure we never scratch the factory paint on your roof.
- Surface Cleaning and Prep: Leaving old glue behind is a guaranteed recipe for a leak. We scrape the pinch weld down to a clean, flat surface. After that, we vacuum and wipe down the entire track system to make sure the drain tubes are completely clear of broken glass and dirt.
- Primer and Adhesive Application: Any exposed bare metal gets a quick coat of anti-rust primer to stop future corrosion. Once that flashes off, we lay down a thick, consistent bead of high-quality, fast-curing urethane adhesive.
- Setting the Glass: We drop the new sunroof panel into place, making sure the gaps are perfectly aligned with the Virage roofline. We test the electronics, run a strict water test to check our seal, and wipe everything down so it looks factory fresh.
