Back Glass Replacement
Back glass replacement is a unique process, quite different from windshield replacement. While windshields are made of laminated glass designed to crack but remain intact, the back glass is typically made of tempered glass, which is significantly stronger but engineered to shatter into small, blunt pieces upon impact. This safety feature prevents large shards from injuring passengers and ensures occupants aren’t trapped inside the vehicle during an accident.
When a back glass breaks, it usually results in a complete breakage, often leaving very little glass on the vehicle's frame. At Liberty AutoGlass, we specialize in safe, efficient back glass replacement for most vehicle makes and models.
Get Your Back Glass Replaced Quickly And Safely
From shattered glass to severe cracks, our technicians deliver fast, secure back glass replacement with guaranteed workmanship.
Replacing the back glass involves more than just installing new glass. First, all remaining fragments and the original urethane adhesive must be carefully removed. Our technicians thoroughly clean any glass debris from the trunk, rear seats, or tailgate area to prevent injury and further damage.
Once the vehicle’s pinch weld is prepped and the new glass is properly primed, we install the replacement using industry-approved adhesives to ensure a secure, leak-free bond.
Depending on the extent of the cleanup, the entire process typically takes about 2 ½ hours, and you’ll be given both verbal and written instructions regarding the safe drive-away time. We also recommend avoiding washing your car for at least 24 hours post-installation.

For pickup trucks, modern back glass installations—especially those with sliding panels—can be more complex. Unlike older models that used a simple rubber gasket, today’s assemblies are often bonded with urethane adhesives or bolted directly to the frame. This means that the entire back glass comes as one bonded unit and we cannot replace individual panels of glass. Some are even molded with plastic bonding materials that require special tools and installation procedures.
Improper handling can result in leaks, rust, or even glass detachment. That’s why Liberty AutoGlass uses only the highest quality materials and follows all manufacturer-recommended methods to ensure your back glass is installed safely, securely, and built to last.
