Front door glass

It’s not only your vehicle windshield that can get damaged by flying debris or as a result of a road traffic collision - your van, SUV, car or truck front door glass is at risk of being chipped or broken too. The front door glass on your car is also at risk from opportunist thieves, who tend to break one of these windows to get into your vehicle to steal it, or the contents. Due to the way the side window panes are manufactured, they cannot be repaired in the same way as a windshield chip can be mended – even a small chip means you will need a total front door glass replacement instead.

How the front door glass is replaced on a vehicle

First, the technician will need to remove the old, damaged glass. If the glass has been totally smashed, the first job is to vacuum the loose glass and debris out of the vehicle before removing the door panel to access the remains of the pane.

If the side window is just chipped, the technician simply needs to remove the door panel to access the whole of the pane.

The next job is to disconnect the glass from the mechanism within the door that allows the glass to rise and fall, and totally remove it. The complexity of this task depends on the type of mechanism that is fitted within the door panel – manual or electric etc.

The new glass pane will be fitted into the mechanism, and cleaned. Then, a test will be carried out to ensure everything is working correctly, before re-fitting the door panel and ensuring the interior of the vehicle is free from dust and debris that may have been released during the work.

The entire task should be completed within around one hour, and then you can drive away with your vehicle’s security intact.

It’s important to put the replacement of any automotive glass into the hands of someone who has been trained properly to carry out the work. In the case of myWindshield technicians, they are all experienced and reputable auto glass specialists, and you can rely on them to work to the highest standards to ensure the functionality and safety of your vehicle.

Automotive glass is our business

You may not realize it, but all the pieces of glass in your truck, car, SUV or van play a major part in the overall safety of the vehicle. They all have their part to play in making the overall structure sturdy and safe to drive, as well as letting you see out and keeping out the elements. Each individual part has been carefully and individually designed and molded to a shape which gives the vehicle the best possible gas mileage, and constructed of materials that protect you, your passengers and other motorists and road-users in the event of an accident. If any of the glass components become damaged, even slightly, the safety of the vehicle could be compromised. It makes sense therefore to get even apparently minor areas of damage such as stone chips checked out and rectified before they develop further and put the vehicle and passenger’s safety at risk.
