Genesis Electrified GV70 (2023-2027) Vent Glass Replacement
The Electrified GV70 is an incredibly quiet and refined EV. But the second that small vent glass gets smashed, that silent ride is completely ruined by awful wind noise and rattling glass. I've worked on plenty of these Genesis models, and replacing the vent glass requires a steady hand because of the high-end trims and tight panel gaps. If you need this fixed, I'm going to walk you through exactly how I handle it.
Driving around the Greater Toronto Area with a busted window is a security risk and a massive annoyance. Whether you are parked in your driveway in Vaughan, at the office in Markham, or running errands in Richmond Hill, you don't need to waste a day sitting in a waiting room. I bring the shop directly to you to get it sorted out.
My Step-by-Step Replacement Process
Replacing a vent glass on a luxury EV isn't just about sticking a new piece of glass into a hole. It takes proper prep work to make sure the window doesn't leak or whistle when you are driving down the highway. Here is exactly how I do the job:
- Interior Protection: Before I even pick up a tool, I lay down heavy protective covers over your leather seats and interior door panels. I vacuum up every single piece of broken glass so your cabin is actually safe to sit in again.
- Careful Removal: I carefully strip away the weatherstripping and extract the broken glass chunks from the frame. I cut back the old urethane down to a thin, even layer, making sure I don't scratch the paint or damage any nearby door electronics.
- Surface Cleaning: The pinch weld gets a heavy-duty wipe down. Any dirt, dust, or grease left behind means the new glue won't bond right, and I don't take chances with that.
- Primer Application: If my blade exposed any bare metal during the removal, I brush on a specialized auto glass primer. This stops rust from forming inside your door frame down the road.
- Adhesive Installation: I lay down a thick, consistent bead of premium fast-curing urethane adhesive. Then, I set the new vent glass into place, pressing it firmly so it sits perfectly flush with the factory body lines of your GV70.
