Door Glass Replacement for McLaren Artura & Artura Spider (2022-2027)
Working on a McLaren Artura or the Artura Spider isn't an everyday job. When you're dealing with a shattered side window on a 2022-2027 model, replacing that door glass takes a lot more than prying off a plastic panel. The dihedral doors, carbon fiber tub, and complex electronics mean you need hands-on experience to get the job done right. The window has to seal perfectly against the roofline, or you're going to hear wind noise the second you hit the highway.
If you're driving your supercar around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), you probably don't want to leave it sitting in a dusty shop waiting for parts. We bring the tools and the exact OEM-equivalent glass right to your garage. Whether you're parked at home in Vaughan, at an office in Richmond Hill, or running errands in Markham, we get the replacement done on your schedule.
How We Handle the Replacement Process
Here is exactly how I tackle a door glass replacement on the Artura platform:
- Interior Protection: First thing I do is tape off the interior door cards and lay down heavy protective covers over your leather or Alcantara seats. Tempered glass shatters into thousands of pieces. I use a specialized shop vac to get every single shard out of the door cavity and speaker grilles.
- Careful Removal: I carefully strip back the inner door panel to access the window regulator. The internal architecture of these dihedral doors is tight. Getting the broken pieces out and releasing the old glass mounts requires patience and the right trim tools to avoid snapping any retaining clips.
- Surface Cleaning: I clean out the window tracks and the mounting hardware. Any leftover grit or old glue will scratch the new glass on its way down or cause the regulator motor to bind.
- Primer and Adhesive Installation: The Artura uses specific bonded brackets to hold the glass in the regulator. I apply a dedicated glass primer to the mounting points, followed by a high-quality adhesive installation to bond the new glass securely to the lifter guides. This guarantees the glass won't shift or rattle over time.
- Testing the Drop Feature: Once the adhesive cures, I run the window up and down to check the pinch sensors. I also test the automatic drop-glass feature that triggers when you open the door to ensure the clearance is dead-on.
