Replacing the Quarter Glass on Your 2026-2027 Genesis GV90
Getting a busted quarter glass on a 2026 or 2027 Genesis GV90 is a real headache. I've worked on my fair share of these large EVs, and the way Genesis designed that rear side glass means it sits incredibly flush with the body panels. It looks great rolling down the highway, but it takes a steady hand and the exact right tools to replace it correctly without scratching up that expensive paint job or messing with the surrounding trim.
How We Handle the Replacement Process
We don't cut corners when we pull glass. Here is exactly how my team and I tackle a GV90 quarter glass job in the field:
- Interior Protection: First thing we do is tape off the exterior trim and lay heavy drop cloths inside the cabin. We keep broken glass off your premium interior materials and out of the rear climate vents.
- Safe Removal: We use specialized wire cutting tools to slice through the factory urethane. Prying it out the old-fashioned way damages the pinch weld, so we take our time and cut it clean.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the broken glass is out, I carefully trim back the old adhesive bead to about a millimeter and clean the entire frame to remove all dirt, dust, and debris.
- Primer Application: If there is any bare metal exposed on the pinch weld from the factory or the removal process, we hit it with a high-grade glass primer. This stops rust from forming down the road.
- Precision Installation: We lay down a thick, consistent bead of fast-curing, premium urethane adhesive. Then, we set the new quarter glass into place, ensuring the panel gaps match the original factory specs perfectly.
