Replacing the Quarter Glass on a 2024-2026 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale & Spider
Working on a 2024-2026 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale or Spider isn't an everyday glass job. When the quarter glass on one of these track-focused exotics takes a hit, you can't just slap a piece of generic glass in there and call it a day. The carbon fiber trim, the aerodynamics, and the sheer value of the car demand absolute precision. I've been replacing auto glass on high-end vehicles for years, and I treat every Ferrari that comes my way like it's my own.
Our Step-By-Step Replacement Process
You don't rush a job on an SF90 XX. Here is exactly how we handle the repair to make sure it's done right the first time:
1. Prep and Interior Protection
First things first, we protect the car. A shattered quarter glass means tiny shards get everywhere, and the last thing we want is glass dust grinding into your interior. We take the time to:
- Tape off the exterior paint and surrounding carbon fiber panels with low-tack automotive tape.
- Drape the interior seats, trim, and floorboards with heavy-duty drop cloths.
2. Safe Removal and Surface Cleaning
We never use standard cold knives or aggressive pry tools on a car like this. To get the broken quarter glass out safely, we set up a specialized wire cutting system. This lets us slice through the hard factory adhesive cleanly without scratching the pinch weld or putting stress on the body panels. Once the broken glass is out of the way, we:
- Thoroughly vacuum the window frame and interior to remove every last piece of glass.
- Scrape the old urethane down to a flat, 1-2 millimeter base so the new adhesive has a clean, solid surface to grip.
3. Primer and Adhesive Installation
If we expose any bare metal during the cleanup process, we apply a high-grade black primer right away to stop rust before it starts. After the primer flashes off, we lay down a thick, consistent bead of premium, fast-curing urethane adhesive. We carefully set the new OEM quarter glass into place, pressing it in gently so it sits perfectly flush with the Ferrari's body lines.
