Quarter Glass Replacement for Your 1994-1999 Ferrari F355
Working on a classic Italian sports car like the Ferrari F355 takes a steady hand and a lot of respect for the machine. Whether you drive the Berlinetta, the GTS, or the Spider, that rear quarter glass sits right next to some very expensive paint and delicate interior trim. If yours is cracked, shattered, or suffering from a bad seal, you don't want just anyone prying at it. At AlexWindshield, we know exactly how to handle these late-90s exotics without causing secondary damage to your ride.
How We Handle the Job
You can't rush a glass job on a 355. The tolerances are tight, and the original materials need to be treated with care. Here is exactly how I tackle the quarter glass replacement:
- Interior Protection: First things first, we cover up your leather seats and heavily tape off the exterior body panels. A slip of a tool here is an expensive mistake, so prep means everything.
- Careful Removal: We carefully back out the interior panels to expose the mounting points. The plastics and retaining clips from 1994 to 1999 can be brittle from age, so we take our time pulling everything apart.
- Cutting the Old Seal: Using specialized wire-cutting tools, we slice through the old factory adhesive. This pulls the damaged quarter glass free without putting any stress or scratches on the pinch weld.
- Surface Cleaning and Primer: I scrape the old urethane down to a thin, even layer. We clean the entire channel, and if we expose any bare metal, we lay down a high-quality glass primer to stop rust before it ever starts.
- Adhesive and Installation: Finally, we run a consistent bead of premium automotive urethane adhesive and set the new glass perfectly flush with the factory body lines. We tape it in place until the urethane cures.
