Back Glass Replacement for the 1963-1970 Maserati Mistral
Working on a classic Italian grand tourer like the 1963-1970 Maserati Mistral isn't your everyday auto shop job. These vintage frames require a steady hand, specialized tools, and a deep respect for classic craftsmanship. At AlexWindshield, we handle rare and vintage glass replacements with the exact precision your Mistral deserves.
We know you don't want to tow a vintage masterpiece across town just for a glass fix. That's why we bring our mobile auto glass shop directly to your garage anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Whether you've got your Mistral parked in Vaughan, safely stored in Richmond Hill, or undergoing a full restoration in Markham, we come straight to you.
Our Vintage Back Glass Replacement Process
Classic cars don't use modern clip-in systems, so we do things the old-school, meticulous way. Here is exactly how we swap out the rear glass on your Mistral:
- Interior Protection: First things first, we drape thick protective covers over your classic leather seats and rear deck. We don't take chances with vintage interiors.
- Careful Removal: We slowly cut away the old, hardened seals. Vintage pinch welds can be fragile, so we take our time lifting the broken or cracked back glass out without putting a single scratch on your paint job.
- Surface Cleaning: We strip the frame down to the bare metal, removing decades of old adhesive, dirt, and debris. A perfectly clean channel is the only way to stop future leaks.
- Primer Application: We brush a high-grade, rust-inhibiting primer directly onto the pinch weld. This step protects the aging metal frame and gives the new adhesive something solid to bite into.
- Precision Installation: We lay down a consistent bead of premium automotive adhesive and carefully set the new back glass into place. Finally, we secure the vintage metal trim exactly as it sat straight from the factory in Modena.
