Ferrari Portofino & Portofino M Back Glass Replacement (2017-2023)
Working on a Ferrari Portofino or the upgraded Portofino M isn't your everyday glass job. That retractable hardtop mechanism relies heavily on precise clearances. If your rear glass gets shattered or cracked, you can't just hand the keys to a run-of-the-mill shop. The 2017-2023 models demand exact factory specifications to ensure the roof folds down without binding or leaking. I've spent years handling high-end Italian exotics right here in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and I know exactly what this car needs.
How We Handle the Replacement Process
You don't want glass shards messing up your premium leather interior or getting caught in the complex folding roof tracks. Here is the exact, hands-on process I follow when replacing the back glass on your Portofino.
- Protecting the Cabin: First things first, we drape the entire interior—seats, center console, and the rear deck—with heavy-duty protective blankets. We vacuum every single piece of broken glass out of the roof mechanism tracks so nothing grinds when you drop the top.
- Careful Removal: I use specialized wire-cutting tools to slice through the old factory adhesive. Prying tools have no place near a Ferrari's paint job. We cut the urethane clean and lift the damaged glass out safely.
- Surface Prep: The pinch weld gets stripped down. I leave just a paper-thin layer of the original urethane to act as a bonding base, then thoroughly clean the frame to remove any dirt, grease, or old debris.
- Priming: Any bare metal spots get a coat of high-grade automotive primer to prevent rust and ensure the new adhesive gets a permanent grip.
- Installing the Glass: We apply a thick, even bead of premium, fast-curing urethane. Then, we carefully set the new OEM-quality back glass into place, ensuring the gaps are perfectly symmetrical so the hardtop operates exactly like it did off the showroom floor.
