Sunroof Replacement for 2015-2021 Subaru WRX & STI
The 2015-2021 VA chassis WRX and STI are built to be driven hard. But whether you are hitting tight backroads or just commuting down the 401, a shattered sunroof puts an immediate stop to the fun. I have spent years wrenching on these exact Subarus. When that top glass breaks from a stray rock or an extreme temperature shift, it usually explodes into thousands of tiny pieces. You need a replacement done right the first time, otherwise, you are guaranteed to deal with annoying wind noise or water dripping onto your center console during the next rainstorm.
How We Handle the Repair
Replacing the glass on your WRX is not just about dropping a new panel into the roof. The stiff suspension on the STI means the chassis takes a beating, so the glass mounting has to be dead-on factory spec to handle the vibration. Here is exactly how I tackle the job:
- Interior Protection: Before I even pick up a tool, I cover your seats, dash, and center console with heavy protective blankets. Tempered glass gets absolutely everywhere, and I make sure we extract every single shard from your interior and headliner.
- Careful Removal: I detach the remaining broken glass panel and lower the track hardware just enough to work without creasing your factory headliner or damaging the sunshade.
- Surface Cleaning: I vacuum out the sunroof drains and tracks completely. If you leave even one piece of glass grit in there, the motor will grind the next time you open the roof. I wipe down the entire mating surface with a professional prep cleaner.
- Primer Application: To ensure a permanent, watertight bond, I treat the bare mounting edges with an automotive-grade glass primer and let it flash off.
- High-Quality Adhesive Installation: I lay down a consistent bead of premium urethane adhesive and precisely set the new glass panel into the frame, clamping it down so it cures in the exact factory position.
