Aston Martin Virage (1989-1996) Windshield Replacement
Working on a classic hand-built British grand tourer like the 1989-1996 Aston Martin Virage isn't your everyday glass job. These cars require patience, a steady hand, and an absolute respect for the original craftsmanship. If you've caught a rock on the highway or have a crack spreading across your line of sight, you need a technician who knows exactly how to handle rare vintage panels without putting a single scratch on that aluminum bodywork.

Our Step-by-Step Replacement Process
The tolerances on a 90s Aston Martin are tight, and the original trims are incredibly hard to find. Here is exactly how I tackle this replacement to get the job done right the first time:
- Interior Protection: The very first thing I do is lay down heavy-duty protective covers over those leather seats, the steering wheel, and the dash. No dirty tools or boots are getting anywhere near your interior.
- Careful Removal: I take my time removing the delicate exterior moldings. Using specialized cold-knife tools and a wire cut-out system, I slice through the old urethane to lift the damaged glass out without putting any stress on the frame.
- Surface Cleaning: The pinch weld gets stripped down to a flat, even layer of the old polyurethane. I clean away decades of dust and debris, making sure the channel is completely spotless.
- Primer Application: Any bare metal spots and the inside edge of the new glass get a solid coat of premium black primer. This stops rust dead in its tracks and gives the new urethane something strong to bite into.
- High-Quality Adhesive Installation: I lay down a thick, consistent bead of fast-curing, OEM-grade urethane adhesive. Two of us carefully set the new glass into place, ensuring the gaps are perfectly uniform before reinstalling the factory trims.
