A smashed side, quarter or rear window is $200 to $500 fitted with the granule clean-out included, and on the common panes that is usually a same-day job. Most Wilmington Manor calls of this kind arrive at seven in the morning, from somebody who has just walked out to a car on the driveway - ring when we open at eight with the vehicle and the opening and you will know immediately whether the glass is on the shelf.

The overnight break-in on a driveway is the version of this we see most from Wilmington Manor. A car sitting outside a house on a quiet curved street is exposed in a specific way - nobody is walking past at three in the morning to notice, the noise goes into an empty street rather than a busy one, and the damage is found by whoever comes out first at seven. Usually it is a rear door window or a small quarter light, because they are the cheapest thing to break and the fastest way in. Older vehicles here take another version of it: a fixed quarter or vent pane that has been in place for two decades, where the surrounding rubber has gone hard and shrunk and needs renewing along with the glass rather than being fought back into place.
The pane goes in fairly quickly. The clean-out is what takes the time and is what you are actually paying for. Tempered glass leaves thousands of blunt granules that pour into the door skin, the window channel, the seat rails and the belt reel housing, and granules left in a channel are what wreck a regulator a few months down the line. So the door card comes off, the channel and mechanism are cleared, and the cabin is vacuumed rather than brushed. A door window is around an hour. Back glass takes longer, because the defroster connections have to be right and because the boot well and rear seat backs hold granules people never find.
“Thank you again to the staff at Pro Auto Bond for getting me right! They were very kind, professional and efficient. They replaced my car windshield in less than an hour, and my car was as good as new.”

The local decision is really about how long the car has to stand open. On a Wilmington Manor driveway, a broken window facing the street overnight is not a comfortable thing to leave, and taped plastic drums and leaks in the sort of weather that blows through here off the river. Being minutes from the bay means you rarely have to live with it - a car that is safe to drive can come straight in, and one that is not gets the van at the drive on the same pricing. If it happened overnight and you are heading out anyway, cover the opening with plastic taped to the outside of the body, leave the granules alone rather than brushing them into the carpet, and ring as soon as we open at eight.

Yes. Fixed quarter and vent panes are their own small job: some are bonded in, some sit in a rubber seal, and on an older car the rubber is often part of the problem rather than a bystander. Tell us the vehicle and roughly where the pane sits and we will work out which it is before ordering. They sit in the same $200 to $500 fitted band as a door window on most cars.
No. We fit the glass whether or not anything was reported, and it makes no difference to the price or the work. If you are claiming, your insurer may want a report number, so it is worth making the call before ours if that is the route you are taking. If you are paying directly - which for a single side window frequently comes out cheaper than a comprehensive deductible - none of that applies.
