Shattered Door Glass on Your International HX? Let's Get You Back on the Road
If you drive an International HX Series (2016-2025), you already know this truck is built for heavy-duty work. Whether you are hauling gravel, running a dump trailer, or navigating messy construction sites, your rig takes a serious beating. Eventually, a stray rock or a swinging loader bucket is going to take out your door glass. When that happens, you cannot afford to leave your truck parked in the yard.
Why a Broken Window is Bad News for Your Cab
Driving with a busted side window is annoying, but the real problem is what happens to your interior. Canadian weather does not mess around. Rain, snow, and freezing winds will short out your door electronics and soak your cab in a matter of hours. Plus, a missing window makes your truck an easy target for theft when you are parked overnight at a truck stop.
Dealing with the 2016-2025 HX Door Assemblies
I have pulled apart hundreds of commercial truck doors, and the newer HX models have a very specific setup. The interior panels are tough, but the retaining clips holding everything together will easily snap if you try to pry them off with a flathead screwdriver. You need the right trim tools to pull the panel off without causing hundreds of dollars in unnecessary plastic damage.
The Hidden Danger: Glass in the Regulator Tracks
Here is something a lot of rookie glass installers miss. When your door glass shatters, thousands of tiny pieces drop straight down into the bottom of the door shell. If you just slap a new piece of glass in there, those leftover shards will grind against the window regulator. We take the time to vacuum out every single piece of broken glass from the track and the motor assembly so your window rolls up and down without binding.
Don't Forget the Weather Stripping
While the door panel is off, we always inspect the rubber seals. Hard Canadian winters dry out the weather stripping, and putting fresh glass against damaged rubber just leads to annoying wind noise and water leaks.

We do not mess around with your downtime. Here is exactly how we handle your door glass replacement:
