Back Glass Replacement for Maserati Shamal 1990-1996
Working on a 1990-1996 Maserati Shamal isn't your everyday auto glass job. This is a rare piece of Italian automotive history, and when the back glass shatters, you can't just slap a generic piece of glass in there and hope for the best. The Marcello Gandini design features unique angles, and the rear window sits tight against the body. At AlexWindshield, we know exactly what it takes to handle the rear glass on these classic twin-turbo V8 exotics without damaging the hard-to-find surrounding trim or factory paint.

Our Step-by-Step Installation Process
Replacing the glass on a 90s exotic takes patience and a steady hand. Here is exactly how I tackle a back glass replacement on a Shamal:
- Protecting the Interior: The leather and custom trim in a 90s Maserati are nearly impossible to replace. Before I even pick up a cutting tool, I drape the entire rear cabin and tape off the parcel shelf so no stray glass shards or old glue drop inside.
- Careful Glass Removal: I use a specialized wire cutting system to slice through the old urethane. Prying or rushing this step will scratch the pinch weld, so we take it slow and steady around the corners to protect the frame.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old glass is out, I scrape the remaining factory adhesive down to a flat, thin layer. I clean the entire track thoroughly. Any dirt left behind guarantees a water leak later, so the prep work has to be flawless.
- Primer Application: I apply a high-grade bare-metal primer to any tiny scratches on the pinch weld. This stops rust from forming and gives the new adhesive a strong chemical bond.
- High-Quality Adhesive Installation: We lay down a thick, consistent bead of fast-curing automotive urethane. Then, my team and I carefully set the new back glass into place, making sure the gaps are perfectly even before the glue sets up.
