Common Causes of Back Glass Damage

Rear vehicle windows, also known as back glass, are made from tempered safety glass. That means they’re strong but designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces when broken to protect passengers. This makes repairs rare and full replacement the typical solution.
Here are common reasons our customers need back glass replacement:

• Rear-end collisions
• Road debris impacts
• Vandalism or break-ins
• Slamming the trunk or hatch too hard
• Ice or hail damage
• Faulty defroster or heating elements

No matter the cause, if your back glass is broken, cracked, or missing, we’ll replace it quickly, safely, and affordably.

When to Replace Your Rear Window

Unlike your windshield, back glass cannot usually be repaired if damaged. Due to its composition, it typically shatters completely or suffers damage that affects embedded features like defrosters or antennas.
It’s time to replace your back glass if:

• The window is shattered or completely broken out
• The glass is cracked, even if still in place
• Heating/defrost elements have failed due to damage
• Sensors or wiring built into the window are no longer functional
• The window doesn’t seal properly against moisture or wind

Trying to drive with a broken rear window is unsafe and illegal in many cases. Call our mobile team, and we’ll come out and restore your vehicle’s back glass with a perfect fit.

Features of Rear Window Glass

Modern back glass often includes additional built-in features that must be properly handled during replacement:

• Rear Defrost (Heating Lines): Keeps the window clear of ice and fog. Our replacements preserve this function.
  
• Antenna Wiring: Some back windows contain embedded radio or GPS antennas.
  
• Rain or Fog Sensors: Integrated sensors in some rear glass help support automatic climate control systems.
  
• Rear Brake Light Mounts: We carefully remove and reinstall center brake lights when mounted to the glass.
  

At Northglenn Auto Glass Solutions, we ensure these features are fully functional after your rear glass replacement is complete.

FAQs – Back Glass Replacement & Repair

Can a shattered rear window be repaired?

No. Because back glass is made of tempered glass, it cannot be repaired once cracked or shattered. Replacement is the only safe option.

How long does rear window replacement take?

Most jobs take 60–90 minutes. After installation, you can drive once we’ve confirmed the adhesive has cured and all systems are functional.

Is this covered by insurance?

If you have comprehensive coverage, your policy likely covers rear window replacement. We provide documentation to help you file a claim with your insurance company.

What if my defroster no longer works?

If the issue is related to damaged back glass, replacing the window usually resolves it. We ensure new heating elements work properly before we complete the job.
