Back glass, quarter panes, vent windows and sunroof glass run $200 to $500 fitted. Around the campuses the common job is a hatchback rear screen, and we source against your year and model, then vacuum the load area properly rather than leaving cubes under the parcel shelf.

The vehicle mix around Rutgers, NJIT and Essex County College skews older and smaller, which changes what breaks. Hatchbacks and small estates are everywhere, and their rear screens are large, tempered and easy to reach from a footpath, so a break-in that takes a bag off the load floor takes the back glass with it. Fixed quarter panes on the rear pillars go the same way. Neither is a door window, which means neither is the pane most people expect to be quoted for, and both are bonded jobs with a cure period rather than a quick swap.
We work to the exact part. Rear screens carry defroster grids, sometimes a radio antenna, and on hatchbacks a wiper spindle and washer feed that all have to line up, so a pane that merely fits the aperture is not good enough. Old glass and adhesive come out, the frame is cleaned and primed, the new screen is bonded in, the heating circuit is reconnected and tested, and the load area is vacuumed out. Most of this work sits between $200 and $500 depending on the piece and the vehicle, and you get the number before it starts.
“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…”

Two things about doing this work around the campuses. The first is sourcing. A fifteen-year-old hatchback is not a problem, but it is not a part anybody keeps stacked either, so the honest answer to how fast is usually next working day rather than this afternoon. We check availability while you are on the phone and book the fitting against the part, not against a hope. The second is where the car stands. Permit lots and university decks work well for bonded glass because the vehicle is not going anywhere through the cure, provided the van can get through the entrance. When it cannot, the shop is ten to twelve minutes up Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The light rail from Warren Street or Norfolk Street brings you back to campus.

The wiper arm and its spindle seal are part of getting a hatchback screen right, so we refit them and check the washer feed is clear before handing the car over. If the spindle itself was damaged when the glass went, that is a separate part and we will tell you the cost rather than quietly adding it to the bill. Nothing gets fitted without you knowing what it is.
In most cases yes. Comprehensive cover treats glass as glass, so a rear screen or a quarter pane is claimable on the same basis as a windshield, though a deductible is more likely to apply than it is on a chip repair. We file directly with the insurer and handle the paperwork. Where paying cash works out cheaper than your deductible, we will say so plainly.
