Back Glass Replacement for Your 2011-2016 Hyundai Equus
The 2011-2016 Hyundai Equus—the heavy-hitting precursor to the Genesis luxury lineup—is an incredibly well-built sedan. When that back glass shatters, you aren't just dealing with a massive hole in your car; you're looking at a huge mess of tempered glass scattered all over high-end leather and rear electronics. I've worked on plenty of these big sedans over the years. Getting the rear window replaced correctly requires patience, a steady hand, and using the exact right materials to match factory standards.

How We Replace the Equus Rear Window
Replacing the back glass on an Equus isn't a quick slap-on job. The pinch weld is deep, and the glass is heavy. Here is exactly how I handle it in the field:
- Protecting the Interior: First things first, we drop heavy-duty drop cloths over your rear seats and the rear deck lid. Tempered glass explodes everywhere, so we run a high-powered shop vac to pull every single shard out of the cabin, the speaker grilles, and the trunk gap.
- Removing the Old Seal: We carefully cut away the remaining urethane bead. You have to keep the blade tight to the metal pinch weld so you don't scratch the paint. Even a small scratch here means rust down the road, and we don't let that happen.
- Surface Prep and Cleaning: We strip the track down and clean it out with a specialized auto glass solvent. The metal bonding area needs to be absolutely bare and spotless.
- Applying the Primer: Any exposed bare metal gets a solid coat of high-grade auto glass primer. This step is non-negotiable if you want the new adhesive to bite properly and prevent future leaks.
- Laying the Adhesive and Setting the Glass: We shoot a thick, consistent bead of premium, fast-curing urethane adhesive. Then, two of us carefully drop the new back glass into place. Finally, we hook up the factory defroster lines and test them to make sure you're ready for our harsh winter mornings.
