Back Glass Replacement for Your 2012-2017 Ferrari F12berlinetta & TDF
Working on a Ferrari F12berlinetta or the track-focused F12tdf isn't like swapping out the glass on a daily commuter. That long, sloping rear window sits right above an expensive leather and alcantara interior. When the back glass shatters on these V12 grand tourers, you need a technician who knows exactly how to handle Italian bodywork and delicate trim pieces without leaving a single scratch behind.
Our Exact Process for F12 Rear Glass Installation
I've replaced glass on plenty of exotics over my career. Here is exactly how we tackle the rear window on your 2012-2017 F12:
- Interior Protection: First things first. We drape the entire rear deck, leather, and carpeted surfaces with heavy-duty protective covers. Tempered glass shards love to hide in tight crevices, so we vacuum the cabin inside and out before making a single cut.
- Careful Removal: We use specialized wire cutting tools to slice through the old factory urethane. This keeps the pressure off the aluminum body panels and protects the paint around the pinch weld. Prying tools have no place near a Ferrari.
- Surface Cleaning: I strip the old adhesive down to a thin, even base layer. We then clean the pinch weld with an industrial solvent to wipe out dirt, grease, and moisture. A clean surface is the only way the new glue will stick.
- Primer Application: Any exposed bare metal gets a coat of anti-rust primer. We also prime the black ceramic band on the new replacement glass so the adhesive actually bites and holds long-term.
- Adhesive and Setting: We lay down a consistent, high-riding bead of premium, fast-curing auto glass urethane. Setting the F12 back glass takes two guys to ensure it drops perfectly into the channel on the first try, matching the exact factory alignment.
