Replacing the Quarter Glass on a 2013-2018 Ferrari LaFerrari & Aperta
Working on a hypercar like the 2013-2018 Ferrari LaFerrari or its Aperta variant isn't your everyday auto glass job. The carbon fiber tub, aggressive aerodynamics, and sheer value of these cars mean you can't just pry out a broken window and slap a new one in. If you have a damaged quarter glass on your LaFerrari, you need a technician who actually understands the structural tolerances of modern Ferrari engineering.
Our Exact Replacement Process
Replacing a quarter glass on this specific hybrid hypercar requires extreme patience to avoid scratching the surrounding carbon fiber and expensive paintwork. Here is exactly how we handle the job in the shop or out in the field:
- Protecting the Interior: Before we even touch a tool, we tape off the surrounding body panels with thick automotive-grade protective tape. Inside the cabin, we drop heavy covers over the Alcantara seats and carbon fiber trims to catch every single shard of glass.
- Safe Removal: We completely avoid heavy power tools. Instead, we use a specialized wire cutting system to slice through the old urethane. This cuts the glass free slowly without putting any stress on the vehicle's chassis.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old glass is out, we trim down the factory adhesive bed to a flat, thin layer. We vacuum the frame and wipe down the pinch weld with specialized cleaners to remove dirt, grease, and moisture. A clean surface is the only way the new glue will hold.
- Primer Application: We apply a high-grade glass primer to any bare spots on the frame and directly to the bonding edge of the new OEM Ferrari quarter glass.
- High-Quality Adhesive Installation: After the primer flashes off, we run a consistent bead of fast-curing urethane adhesive. We then carefully set the glass into the frame, double-checking the alignment with the door to make sure wind noise won't be an issue at highway speeds.
