Replacing the Quarter Glass on Your Lotus Evora (2010-2021)
Let's talk about the quarter glass on your Lotus Evora. Whether you drive the base model, the S, the 400, or the GT from that 2010 to 2021 run, replacing the side glass isn't a job you hand off to a run-of-the-mill glass shop. These cars are built differently. Handling the composite body panels requires a careful, experienced touch. I've spent years working on high-performance vehicles, and I know exactly what it takes to get this job done right without scratching your paint or tearing up your interior.

My Step-by-Step Evora Quarter Glass Process
The body lines and tolerances on a Lotus are incredibly tight. Here is exactly how I approach a quarter glass replacement on these specific models:
- Interior Protection: First things first, I lay down heavy-duty protective covers over your seats and carefully tape off the surrounding exterior body panels.
- Glass Removal: I carefully cut out the shattered or cracked quarter glass. Because of the Evora's unique body composition, I use specialized wire-cutting tools instead of traditional cold knives. This ensures we don't gouge the frame.
- Surface Cleaning: I vacuum out every single shard of glass from the cabin and the window channel. After that, I trim the old factory urethane down to a flat, clean pinch weld.
- Primer Application: I apply a high-grade automotive glass primer to the bare frame. This step guarantees the new glue bites hard and completely seals out moisture.
- Adhesive and Setting: Finally, I run a consistent bead of premium, fast-cure urethane adhesive and set the new quarter glass perfectly flush with the factory body lines.
