You do not have time to leave your car sitting at a garage all day. That is exactly why my team at AlexWindshield brings the repair shop directly to your location.

How I Handle Your Prius Door Glass Replacement
The fourth-generation Prius has specific door panel clips, moisture barriers, and wiring for the power windows that need careful handling. I never take shortcuts on these cars. Here is exactly how I tackle the replacement to make sure it functions like it just rolled off the factory floor:
- Interior Protection & Cleanup: Broken tempered door glass explodes into thousands of tiny pieces. First thing I do is lay down thick protective covers over your seats and dash. Then, I run a heavy-duty vacuum through the cabin and deep inside the door cavity to pull out every single glass shard.
- Panel & Glass Removal: I carefully pop off the interior door panel, disconnect the window switch wiring, and unbolt the window regulator. We clear out the rubber window tracks completely so the new glass will not grind or bind up when you roll it down.
- Surface Cleaning: We prep the tracks and mounting points. If we are replacing the bonded stationary vent glass on your Prius door, I strip away the old factory seal and clean the metal pinch weld until it is completely spotless.
- Primer & Adhesive Installation: For those bonded glass sections, I brush on a specialized glass primer to cover any bare metal and prevent rust down the road. Once that flashes off, I lay down a steady bead of high-quality adhesive, ensuring a tight, water-proof seal before setting the new glass into the frame.
- Final Testing: I reconnect the electronics and run the window up and down a few times. I check the track alignment, make sure the auto-up feature works without kicking back, and snap the door panel back together perfectly.
