Working on a classic mid-engine Ferrari like the 348 takes a steady hand and a lot of respect for the machine.

Whether you have the car parked under a cover in Vaughan, Richmond Hill, or Markham, we bring the tools and the expertise straight to you.
How We Replace Your Ferrari 348 Quarter Glass
The quarter glass on these cars sits tight against expensive bodywork and delicate interior trim. The factory seals are often decades old. Here is exactly how I tackle the job:
- Interior Protection: The first thing I do is cover up that classic leather interior and the surrounding exterior paint. Tempered glass shatters into thousands of pieces, so I use heavy drop cloths and carefully vacuum every stray shard out of the cabin and window tracks.
- Careful Removal: Pulling the old glass or cleaning out the frame takes patience. The weatherstripping and trim pieces from 1989 to 1995 can be extremely brittle. I gently cut back the old adhesive and release the moldings without stressing the aluminum or steel body panels.
- Surface Cleaning: New glass will never seal right over old, dirty glue. I strip out the old urethane down to a thin, even layer on the pinch weld, clean the entire channel thoroughly, and treat any bare metal to stop rust before it starts.
- Primer Application: I apply a premium glass primer to both the vehicle's pinch weld and the edges of the new quarter glass. This creates a chemical bond that holds up to the vibration of that flat-plane crank V8.
- Adhesive & Installation: Using a high-quality, fast-curing urethane adhesive, I set the new quarter glass into place. I line it up perfectly with the aggressive side strakes and body lines of your 348, secure it to maintain the exact factory gap, and carefully reinstall your original trim.
