Reliable Repairs for All Auto Glass
Auto glass damage isn’t just limited to windscreens—side and rear panels can crack, jam or shatter with very little warning. Our qualified auto glaziers work on cars, 4WDs, trucks, buses, and heavy vehicles of all sizes, replacing broken door glass, fixed panels and rear windows with durable, roadworthy glass matched to your vehicle. If your window is leaking or no longer seals properly, we can also repair the fitting to ensure long-term protection.
We know that side and rear window damage can also raise security concerns, so we'll work quickly to help protect your vehicle and restore peace of mind. Whether it’s part of a larger repair job or a single window, we’ll handle it efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Can I drive my car straight after the window is replaced?
Yes, in most cases, you can drive your car immediately after a side or rear window replacement. Unlike windscreen installations, which often require curing time for adhesives, side and rear windows are typically fixed using mechanical methods that don’t need time to set. However, if additional sealing or tinting is involved, your technician may advise a short waiting period.
Is it safe to leave a broken rear or side window unrepaired?
No, leaving a broken or missing window exposes your vehicle to rain, humidity, insects and theft. It also compromises your car’s structure, particularly during a collision. In some states, driving with damaged glass may breach roadworthy standards, so it’s best to repair it as soon as possible to protect your vehicle and avoid penalties.
Can side and rear windows be repaired, or do they always need replacement?
Unlike windscreens, which can sometimes be repaired if damage is minor, side and rear windows usually require full replacement when damaged. These glass types are typically tempered, meaning they’re designed to shatter for safety, which makes repairs impossible once the integrity is compromised. A professional glazier can confirm the best course of action.
