Replacing a door window or rear pane on a Westbury vehicle costs $180 to $500 and generally takes under two hours. We treat an open car as urgent, and we will do the work in the commuter lot, at your home, or at the shop fifteen minutes west along Old Country Road.

A door window that is not fitted properly announces itself at parkway speed, and Westbury drivers spend more time at parkway speed than most. A pane set slightly out of true in its regulator leaves a gap at the top channel, and at sixty that gap turns into a whistle you cannot ignore and a slow leak you will not notice until the door card is damp. So alignment is where the time goes on this job: fitting the glass, running it up and down, adjusting, and checking the seal along its whole length.
Rear windows are a different discipline. They are bonded rather than mechanical, so the aperture has to be cleaned back properly and the new pane set into fresh adhesive with even pressure all round. The defroster grid is reconnected and tested, along with any aerial element printed into the surface. Both types of job include clearing the cubes out of the vehicle, which on a shattered tempered pane means the door cavity, the seat rails, the carpet and the load space. Where a panel has to be sourced, we will seal the aperture the same day rather than leave the car standing open in a lot overnight.
“Great experience with Gary. Easy scheduling, had everything done in two hours despite having just come back from vacation and being super busy, and the windshield and workmanship looks great. Even put my new registration sticker on for me…”

The commuter lots supply a steady flow of this work, and they are also the easiest place to deal with it. A car standing there all day gives us five times the access the job requires, and the bays are wide enough to open a door fully, which is the single thing a door glass replacement cannot do without. If you spot the damage on your way to the train, ring us from the platform with the row and the plate. There is no sense driving home with the wind coming through when the car is going to sit in that lot regardless. We will confirm by phone when it is done, along with the time the car is safe to drive if a bonded pane was involved.

No. A correctly fitted pane seals against the channel along its whole top edge and should be no louder than the one it replaced. Wind noise means the glass is not sitting square, the seal is damaged, or the regulator is not lifting it fully. If we fitted it, bring it back and we will correct it under the lifetime workmanship warranty at no charge.
Broadly similar overall, but the time is spent differently. A backlite is a bonding job, so more of it is preparation and cure, while a door window is mechanical and more of it is alignment. Both usually come in under two hours including cleanup, and on a bonded rear pane we will give you a specific time before the car is safe to drive.
