Vent Glass Replacement for Ferrari LaFerrari & Aperta (2013-2018)
Working on a 2013-2018 Ferrari LaFerrari or its Aperta counterpart isn't an everyday job for most shops, but it's exactly the kind of precision work we handle. When you're dealing with a hypercar built around a carbon fiber tub, replacing a damaged vent glass takes patience and a steady hand. You can't just pry things apart or rush the teardown. If you have a cracked or shattered vent window on your LaFerrari, we treat the car with the exact respect and care it demands.
Our Step-by-Step Replacement Process
We don't cut corners. Here is exactly how I approach the vent glass replacement on these specific Ferraris:
- Interior Protection: First step, always. We cover the Alcantara, carbon fiber interior trim, and leather with heavy-duty protective blankets. We also run specialized masking tape around the exterior carbon bodywork to prevent any accidental scuffs while we work.
- Glass Removal: The vent glass sits incredibly tight on these models. We use specialized wire cutting systems to gently slice through the old urethane. This pulls the glass free without putting any stress on the delicate window frame or the surrounding body panels.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the broken glass is out, I carefully pare down the old adhesive. We clean the pinch weld thoroughly to remove all grease, dirt, and leftover glass shards so the new seal has a perfect, clean surface to bond to.
- Primer Application: Any exposed spots on the frame get a coat of premium glass primer. This step guarantees the new adhesive actually bites into the frame for a factory-grade hold and prevents future degradation.
- Adhesive & Installation: We apply a high-quality, fast-curing urethane. The new vent glass is set perfectly into place, double-checking the gaps so it sits completely flush with the door lines. For the Aperta models, we pay extra attention to the weather seals to ensure wind noise stays out when you're driving.
