Back Glass & Rear Window Replacement that comes to you

Rear windows break from freeway rocks, break-ins, fender benders and sudden temperature swings. Epic Auto Glass provides mobile back glass replacement across Los Angeles for sedans, SUVs, trucks, vans and commercial vehicles, working at your home, office or job site. If your schedule is tight, ask about same-day service, which is offered first come, first served.

Back glass is more involved than a typical side window. Most rear windows carry defroster lines, and some also include an antenna or a rear wiper mount. A proper replacement means reconnecting those parts, sealing the glass against leaks and cleaning up fragments that scatter across the back seat or cargo area.

We use quality replacement glass made to match your vehicle's specifications, with OEM glass available on request.

Know the signs

Signs you need back glass replacement

Shattered rear window

Tempered back glass breaks into small pieces all at once, leaving an opening that needs to be closed quickly.

Spreading or spiderweb cracks

Cracks longer than a few inches weaken the glass and interfere with your rear view.

Leaks after rain or washes

Water in the trunk or cargo area can point to cracked glass or a damaged seal.

Defroster lines broken

When a crack runs through the heating grid, the defroster may stop clearing part of the glass.

Loose or rattling glass

Glass that moves or rattles while driving has lost its bond and needs attention.

Our process

How the job gets done

  1. Confirm the glass

    We identify the right back glass for your vehicle, including defroster, antenna and tint details.

  2. Remove glass and debris

    Remaining glass and old sealant are removed without damaging the frame or nearby trim.

  3. Prep and install

    The mounting area is cleaned and prepped to prevent leaks, then the new glass is set and sealed.

  4. Connect and test

    We reconnect the defroster and other connections, check the seal and vacuum up the broken glass.

Why back glass takes more care

Rear glass usually includes a printed heating grid for defrosting, and it's either bonded to the body or held in a gasket. If the connectors aren't reattached properly, the defroster won't work. If the frame isn't prepped well, water can find its way into the trunk or cargo area. That's why we clean the mounting surface, seal the glass and test the defroster before we leave.

Most back glass is tempered, so when it fails it shatters into small pieces. Those pieces settle into seat seams, trunk liners and door jambs, and a thorough cleanup is part of every rear window job.

Sedans, SUVs, trucks and vans

Back glass comes in many shapes: fixed rear windows on sedans and coupes, liftgate glass on SUVs and hatchbacks, and rear windows on pickups and vans. When you request a quote, share your year, make and model and whether the glass has tint, a wiper or an antenna, so we bring the correct part. If other windows were damaged in the same incident, we also replace quarter glass and side windows.

FAQ

Back Glass & Rear Window Replacement FAQ

Still have a question? Call or text us and a real person will answer.

Can a cracked rear window be repaired?

Rarely. Most back glass is tempered and can't be repaired once it cracks, so replacement is the safe option.

Will my rear defroster work after replacement?

Replacement back glass comes with its own defroster grid. We reconnect it and test it before we finish.

Do you replace liftgate glass on SUVs?

Yes. We replace liftgate and hatch glass as well as fixed rear windows on sedans, trucks and vans.

Is it safe to drive with a shattered back window?

It's best to avoid it. Loose fragments can fall into the cabin, rain can get in and the car can't be secured, so we come to you instead.
