Quarter Glass Replacement for Your 1990-1996 Maserati Shamal
Working on a 90s Italian classic like the Maserati Shamal isn't your everyday job. If you have a cracked or shattered quarter glass on one of these rare V8 beasts, you already know you can't just hand the keys to a rookie. At AlexWindshield, we respect the engineering of the 1990-1996 Shamal. We know the exact tolerances required to replace that side glass without messing up your factory trim or original paint.
Our Step-by-Step Replacement Process
Replacing bonded glass on a vintage Maserati takes patience and a steady hand. Here is exactly how we get it done:
- Interior Protection: The first thing we do is lay down heavy-duty drop cloths over those premium leather seats and tape off the interior panels. Broken glass loves to hide in tight spaces, and we make sure none of it stays in your car.
- Careful Removal: We use specialized cold knives and wire cut-out tools to slice through the old factory urethane. The Shamal has unique, sharp body lines, so we take our time to avoid scratching the pinch weld.
- Surface Prep & Cleaning: Once the old glass is out, we strip the remaining adhesive down to a flat, even base. We clean the bare frame with a professional-grade solvent to strip away dirt, wax, and old grease.
- Primer Application: Any exposed metal gets a coat of anti-rust primer to prevent future corrosion. We also prime the inner edge of the new quarter glass so the adhesive bites hard and holds fast.
- Urethane and Installation: We run a thick, consistent bead of fast-curing automotive grade urethane and set the new glass perfectly into place, securing it with retention tape while it cures.
