Windshield Replacement for Rolls-Royce Corniche IV 1992-1995
Working on a classic like the Rolls-Royce Corniche IV (1992-1995) isn't your everyday glass job. These hand-built British luxury convertibles demand a careful, experienced touch. The windshield on a Corniche sits in a highly specific, rigid frame, and getting the installation wrong means dealing with annoying wind noise, water leaks, or worse—ruining that pristine Connolly leather and burled walnut dashboard. At AlexWindshield, we know exactly how to treat these rare cars.

Our Step-by-Step Replacement Process
You simply cannot rush a job on a 90s Rolls-Royce. The materials are sensitive, and the original trims are hard to replace if damaged. Here is exactly how I handle a Corniche IV windshield replacement when I pull up to your location:
- Interior Protection: First things first. I heavily drape the dashboard, steering wheel, and front seats with thick, heavy-duty protective blankets. We do not take any chances with your vintage interior.
- Careful Removal: The exterior brightwork and chrome trim on these cars will bend if you force them. I use specialized, non-marring tools to slowly release the molding. After the trim is safely set aside, I carefully cut out the old urethane holding the damaged glass without scratching the paint.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old windshield is out, I scrape the pinchweld (the metal frame) down. Every bit of the old, degraded adhesive gets stripped away so the new seal has a perfectly clean surface to grab onto.
- Primer Application: Exposed bare metal leads to rust, especially on older British cars. I apply a premium, fast-drying anti-rust primer to the pinchweld to seal and protect the frame before the new glass goes in.
- Adhesive and Installation: I lay down a thick, consistent bead of high-modulus, fast-curing urethane adhesive. Setting the heavy Corniche windshield takes steady hands and precision to make sure the gaps around the A-pillars are perfectly even before the urethane starts to cure.
