Back glass, quarter windows, vent panes and sunroof glass run $200 to $500 fitted, depending on the piece and the vehicle. Forest Hill is four minutes from the shop, and where the car is on a driveway we can usually bring the pane and do the whole job without it leaving the property.

The glass we replace most often up here is not on the side of the car, it is on top of it or at the back. Big trees and a nor'easter are a reliable combination, and a limb coming down lands on the rear screen or the sunroof rather than on the doors. Both are jobs we handle. A sunroof panel needs the right part for your exact vehicle plus a careful reset of the tracks and the drainage channels; get that wrong and the leak turns up three months later in the headlining instead of on the day.
Back glass is a different discipline again. It is tempered, so it comes apart into thousands of blunt cubes that travel further into a car than anyone expects, and the pane carries a defroster grid and sometimes the radio antenna, which means the replacement has to match the original rather than merely fit the hole. We source by year, make and model, bond it in with urethane, reconnect and test the heating circuit, then vacuum the boot, the parcel shelf and the seat belt reels before calling it finished. Expect $200 to $500 for most of these depending on the piece.
“I had my car broken into and needed a replacement window ASAP. Arsenial helped me out the same day. Thank you for the service when I needed it now. Very honest and ethical business, which is hard to come through these day. Very much would…”

Storm season is when the phone rings from this district. What comes down here is not twigs; these are mature trees planted when the parkways were laid out, and a limb has enough weight to take out a rear screen or crack a sunroof panel on impact. The upside is that Forest Hill cars mostly sit on driveways, so we work beside the vehicle without creating a traffic problem, and a car with a hole in the roof does not have to be driven anywhere in the rain first. If a storm has just gone through, cover the opening with plastic and tape rather than cardboard, because cardboard collapses into the cabin overnight and brings the wet with it. Ring us once it is covered and we will bring the pane.

Usually, though it takes longer than a common windshield and the price sits toward the upper end of the $200 to $500 band. Sunroof panels are vehicle-specific and there are fewer of them in circulation, so we check availability before quoting you a day. What we will not do is force a near-enough panel into the aperture, because the drainage channels only work when the fit is genuinely right.
Yes, that is part of the job rather than an extra. A tempered rear screen throws cubes into the parcel shelf, the seat belt reels, the spare wheel well and the folds of the rear seat, and we go through all of it with a vacuum before you take the car back. A few always settle out of reach and work loose later, so give the boot one more pass yourself after the first long drive.
