Ferrari F355 Sunroof Replacement: Precision Care for a 90s Icon
Working on a 1994-1999 Ferrari F355, whether it is the standard coupe, the Spider, or the GTS, is not your everyday auto glass job. These cars are mid-engine masterpieces, and when the sunroof glass cracks or the original factory seals finally give out after a few decades, you need a technician who actually respects the badge. At AlexWindshield, we handle the delicate mechanics of the F355 roof assembly with the exactness a classic Italian sports car demands. We know how hard parts are to source, so we treat every trim piece like it is irreplaceable.

Whether you keep your car parked in Vaughan, Richmond Hill, or Markham, we cover the entire Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to get your Ferrari fixed without putting unnecessary mileage on the odometer.
Our Step-by-Step Replacement Process
The GTS targa top and the standard sunroof setups on these 90s Ferraris require a very steady hand. You cannot just pry things loose and hope for the best. Here is exactly how we handle the glass replacement:
- Interior Protection: First things first, we cover your Connolly leather seats, the center console, and the carpets with heavy-duty protective blankets. We make sure no dust, debris, or urethane gets anywhere near your vintage interior.
- Careful Removal: We carefully unbolt the tracks and retaining brackets. The old glass, hardened adhesive, and worn weatherstripping are cut away using specialized precision wire tools to ensure we never scratch the surrounding factory paint.
- Surface Cleaning: The pinch weld gets stripped down and thoroughly cleaned. Any leftover old residue will definitely cause annoying wind noise or leaks down the road, so we spend the extra time to get the frame absolutely spotless.
- Primer Application: We apply a high-grade, fast-curing automotive primer to the bare metal frame and the edge of the new glass. This creates the exact chemical bond needed to hold everything tight when you open up that flat-plane crank V8 on the highway.
- Adhesive and Installation: Finally, we lay down a precise, even bead of premium urethane adhesive and gently set the new sunroof glass into place. We measure the gaps and check the alignment multiple times to make sure it sits perfectly flush with the roofline.
