Sunroof Replacement for the 1974-1982 Maserati Khamsin
Working on a classic Maserati Khamsin is always a great day in the shop, but finding someone who actually knows how to handle the glass on these vintage, wedge-shaped beauties is another story entirely. If your 1974-1982 Khamsin has a cracked, shattered, or badly leaking sunroof, you can't just hand the keys over to a standard quick-lube glass shop. These cars have unique body lines and fragile vintage trim that demand real respect. At AlexWindshield, we appreciate the engineering behind these classic Italian grand tourers, and we know exactly what it takes to replace that top glass the right way.
Because we know you probably don't want to drive a rare classic car with a broken roof across town, we bring the shop to you. Our mobile auto glass unit is fully equipped to handle vintage replacements right in your own garage. Whether you have the car parked out in Vaughan, over in Richmond Hill, up in Markham, or anywhere else across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), my team and I will show up ready to work.
Our Hands-On Replacement Process
Vintage Maseratis have notoriously sensitive headliners and interior parts. We don't take shortcuts. Here is exactly how we handle your sunroof replacement to make sure the car stays pristine and the new glass seals tight.
- Protecting the Interior: The very first thing we do is lay down thick, heavy-duty protective blankets over those classic leather seats and the center console. We carefully tape off the edges of your headliner so no old adhesive, dust, or debris ruins the vintage fabric.
- Safe Glass Removal: We carefully cut through the old, likely hardened seals using specialized cold knives and wire tools. We take our time here. Rushing this step is exactly how roof panel paint gets scratched, and we don't let that happen.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old glass is pulled out, we strip the sunroof channel completely clean. We scrape away decades of dirt, old glue, and moisture buildup until we hit a perfectly smooth surface.
- Primer Application: Any exposed bare metal gets a solid coat of high-grade automotive glass primer. This stops future rust dead in its tracks and gives the new adhesive a strong surface to bond with.
- High-Quality Adhesive Installation: We lay down a thick, consistent bead of premium urethane adhesive. Then, we drop the new glass perfectly into the opening, double-checking the fit against the Khamsin's roofline to make sure it sits flush and won't cause wind noise on the highway.
