Call in the morning from Fordham Heights and you are usually driving on the right glass by the afternoon. The common pieces are on the shelf and anything else is sourced within hours. Door, quarter, vent, back glass and sunroof panels run $200 to $500, and most go in inside an hour.

Everything that isn't the windshield falls under this heading: front and rear door glass, the small vent panes by the mirrors, quarter glass behind the rear doors, back glass with the defroster grid printed into it, and sunroof panels. Nearly all of it is tempered, which is why it turns into a pile of cubes instead of cracking in place. Replacing a piece means pulling the door panel or the trim, clearing old glass out of the shell and the tracks, setting the new pane and then testing that everything still moves and seals the way it did before.
The range is $200 to $500 depending on the piece and the vehicle, and most jobs finish the same day, plenty of them inside an hour. Back glass and sunroof panels take longer because they're bonded rather than dropped into a channel, and a sunroof needs the urethane to set before you slide it open again. Common pieces sit on the racks here; anything else we chase down the same day where the supplier has it. You get one number covering the whole job, cleanup included, and it doesn't move while the car is with us. The workmanship warranty stays with the car for as long as you own it.
“In 7:30am with broken window, out with new window and vacuumed car at 8:01am. Great price so gave a good tip ahead of time. Good work. 2 thumbs up.”

Break-ins drive a lot of this work in Fordham Heights, and the pattern repeats. Cars sit in long unbroken rows on the residential blocks between University Avenue and Sedgwick Avenue, nobody is watching at three in the morning, and a rear quarter or a back door window is the quiet one to go. Work vans left overnight near the Deegan ramps get the same treatment. The second source is the curb itself. Space is tight enough on Aqueduct Avenue and the streets around it that mirrors and door glass get clipped by anything wider than a sedan, and a delivery van swinging a door open on Fordham Road finishes the job. Either way, nobody wants to drive around with cardboard taped in place, which is why the common pieces stay stocked.
Same service, same price, other Bronx neighborhoods:
For a short trip in dry weather, mostly yes, though the view out the back is poor and loose glass keeps working its way out of the tailgate at every light on Jerome. Tape a bag over the opening if you can, drive slowly, and come in before it rains. If the car is full of glass or the weather is turning, say so on the phone and we'll send the van instead.
Yes, panel glass and the fixed sections around it. Sunroof glass is bonded rather than clipped in, so it needs cure time before you slide the panel back, and you should plan on leaving the car a bit longer than you would for a door window. The price still lands inside the $200 to $500 range for most vehicles. Give us the year, make and model and we'll confirm before ordering.
More than people expect. Tempered glass sprays into the door shell, down the seat rails, into the belt buckles and along the cowl at the base of the windshield. We vacuum all of it as part of the job, dash and seats and carpet and door pockets. You may still find a cube or two weeks later, since some always lodges deep inside the door and works loose over a speed bump.
