Windshield Replacement for the 1962-1968 Maserati Sebring
Working on a classic 1962-1968 Maserati Sebring isn't your everyday auto glass job. These Italian grand tourers have distinct lines, and sourcing the right glass takes serious networking and precision. I've spent years handling vintage windshields, and let me tell you, you don't just pry out the old glass and slap a new one in. You need a steady hand to protect that classic trim, the original dash, and the integrity of the frame.

How We Replace a Vintage Sebring Windshield
The pinch weld on a 60s Maserati behaves differently than a modern sedan. Here is exactly how I handle the replacement to make sure it lasts another sixty years:
- Interior Protection: The first thing I do is lay down heavy-duty protective covers over the vintage leather seats, the steering wheel, and the dashboard. A single scratch or drop of urethane here is an expensive mistake.
- Careful Removal: I use specialized cold knives and precision wire-cutting tools to slowly slice through the old seal. We extract the old glass inches at a time while preserving the original, delicate chrome molding.
- Surface Cleaning: Old cars love to hide rust under the glass. I scrape the pinch weld down to the bare metal, removing every trace of the old, hardened adhesive, dirt, and debris.
- Primer Application: Any exposed bare metal gets a solid coat of high-quality, anti-rust primer. This stops corrosion dead in its tracks and gives the new urethane a clean, strong surface to bite into.
- Adhesive and Installation: I lay down a thick, consistent bead of premium, fast-curing automotive urethane. Then, two of us manually set the new windshield into place, checking that the gaps are perfectly even all the way around before the adhesive sets.
