Working on the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Quarter Glass
Working on a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti requires a different level of respect. If you own one of these V12 grand tourers built between 2004 and 2011, you know exactly what I mean. When the quarter glass gets shattered or cracked, you can't just slap a replacement in there like it's a daily commuter car. The tolerances are tight, the materials are high-end, and the job has to be done right the first time. At AlexWindshield, we handle these Italian machines with the exact precision they demand.

Whether you have the car parked out in Vaughan, sitting in a climate-controlled garage in Richmond Hill, or stored securely in Markham, we cover the entire Greater Toronto Area (GTA). We come to you, so your car stays safe.
How We Replace the Quarter Glass
Replacing the quarter window on a 612 Scaglietti involves working around an aluminum body, which means we have to be incredibly careful. One slip can cause expensive damage. Here is the exact step-by-step process I use when working on your car:
- Interior Protection: The very first thing I do is lay down heavy-duty protective covers over those premium leather rear seats and the surrounding interior trim. We keep all glass shards and debris outside the cabin.
- Careful Removal: I use specialized wire-cutting tools to slice through the old urethane holding the broken glass. I never use aggressive power knives on a Ferrari—we do this by hand to ensure we don't scratch the aluminum pinch weld.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old glass is out, I scrape the old adhesive down to a flat, thin layer. Then, I clean the frame thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or hidden glass fragments.
- Primer Application: We apply a high-quality bare-metal primer to any exposed spots on the frame to prevent oxidation. Next, I apply a specific glass primer to the edge of the new quarter window. This makes sure the adhesive bonds properly.
- Adhesive Installation: Finally, I run a consistent bead of premium, fast-curing automotive grade adhesive. I carefully set the new quarter glass into place, making sure the gaps, molding, and alignment match the original factory specs perfectly.
