Vent Glass Replacement for Ferrari California & California T (2008-2017)
Working on a Ferrari California or the updated California T isn't an everyday job for most shops, but we know these cars inside and out. That small vent glass near the A-pillar might seem like a minor piece of the puzzle, but when it shatters, it leaves your high-end interior exposed to the elements. At AlexWindshield, we handle this specific replacement with the exact care and precision a Maranello-built convertible demands.
Our Hands-On Replacement Process
You don't just slap a piece of glass into a Ferrari and call it a day. The tolerances are tight, and the materials are high-grade. Here is exactly how we get the job done right on your 2008-2017 California:
- Protecting the Interior: We start by covering your premium leather seats, dash, and door panels with heavy drop cloths. If the old glass shattered, we run a high-powered shop vac through the cabin and deep inside the door cavity to get every single shard of glass out.
- Removing the Old Setup: We carefully cut away the old urethane and extract any remaining glass fragments from the frame. We use specialized precision tools to ensure the surrounding paint, weatherstripping, and trim stay completely untouched.
- Surface Preparation: A new piece of glass won't hold if the base is dirty. We strip the pinch weld down, clean it thoroughly with an alcohol-based prep solvent, and wipe away all grease and road dust.
- Priming the Frame: We apply a high-grade glass primer to the bare metal and the edge of the new vent glass. This step guarantees the adhesive will actually bite into the surface and hold long-term.
- Installing the New Glass: We lay down a consistent bead of premium, fast-curing urethane adhesive. Then, we set the new vent glass exactly into place, checking the alignment against the main door glass and the A-pillar to make sure wind noise stays out.
