Replacing Vent Glass on the 2018-2022 Ferrari Monza SP1 & SP2
Working on a Ferrari Monza SP1 or SP2 isn't an everyday job. These 2018-2022 speedsters are rolling works of art. Because they lack a traditional roof and windshield, the small vent glass and wind deflectors take a lot of direct impact from the road. When a stray rock cracks that glass, you can't trust the repair to just any shop. You need a technician who understands how to work around exposed carbon fiber and bespoke leather without making a single mistake.
I've spent years handling high-end exotics, and I know exactly what it takes to swap out the vent glass on a Monza safely and correctly.
My Step-by-Step Replacement Process
There is zero room for error when replacing glass on a limited-production car. Here is exactly how I get the job done right the first time:
- Interior & Exterior Protection: Before I even touch a tool, I tape off the surrounding carbon fiber weave and drape heavy-duty protective covers over the custom interior to catch any stray debris.
- Precision Removal: Using specialized wire cutting systems, I carefully slice through the old adhesive. This allows me to lift the broken vent glass out without applying any stress or leverage to the vehicle's fragile body panels.
- Surface Cleaning: I strip the old factory urethane down to a thin, even layer on the pinch weld. Next, I clean the entire channel with a specialized solvent to remove dust, grease, and old glass fragments.
- Primer Application: Any exposed edges get a coat of premium glass primer. This step prevents future degradation and gives the new adhesive something solid to bite into.
- High-Quality Adhesive Installation: I run a thick, consistent bead of fast-curing, OEM-grade urethane. Then, I set the new vent glass perfectly into place, ensuring the gaps are factory-tight and aligned exactly as they were when the car left Maranello.
