Papa Auto Glass replaces side and rear windows at our Bronx shop, most in under an hour. Door glass, quarter glass, and back windows are tempered, so they shatter into pebbles that scatter everywhere — we install the new pane and vacuum out every piece. Whether it's a break-in or an accident, come by Jerome Avenue any day of the week and we'll get you sealed up.

Side and rear windows break differently than windshields. They're tempered glass, built to crumble into thousands of blunt little cubes instead of sharp shards — safer in a crash, but a nightmare to clean up, because the pieces work into every seam of your interior. Most of our side-glass calls come from break-ins and fender benders around the Bronx, and drivers usually show up with a plastic bag taped over the opening. At Papa Auto Glass we pull the door panel or hatch trim, clear out the old track, and set the correct new glass.
For door windows, we make sure the glass seats in the regulator and rolls up and down smooth before we button the panel back up. For rear windows with a defroster grid, we reconnect the heating element so your defrost still works come winter. Then comes the part people remember: the vacuum. We go through the seats, the carpet, the trunk, and the door cavities until the cubes are gone. You came in with a smashed window and glass all over your ride — you leave sealed up and swept out, usually within the hour.
“Best price for my 2008 CRV windshield, no haggle. I had called 7 other places. COME HERE FIRST.”
Every glass job we do carries a lifetime workmanship warranty — leaks, wind noise or trim issues from our install are fixed free for as long as you own the vehicle.
A broken side or rear window is one thing you don't want to sit on. Left open, your car's exposed to weather and to whoever walks by overnight in a busy neighborhood. That's why we treat these as rush jobs and stock the common panes — so you drive in with cardboard and tape and drive out with real glass, often the same visit. Fast matters most when your car can't be locked.

Break-ins are our quickest turnaround. If we have your glass in stock, which we usually do for common models, you can often be in and out in under an hour. We'll also vacuum every last cube out of the seats and carpet, so you're not driving on broken glass for the next month.
Yes. On door glass we reseat it in the regulator and test that it rolls up and down properly before closing the panel. On rear windows with a defroster grid, we reconnect the heating element so your winter defrost works as before. We don't consider the job done until everything functions like it should.
Every time. Tempered glass shatters into hundreds of little cubes that lodge in seat tracks, seat belts, air vents, and door pockets. Before you leave, we vacuum the cabin thoroughly — one customer even mentioned we vacuumed the whole car. You shouldn't be finding glass weeks later, and with us you won't.
If we need to order a less common pane, we'll board up the opening securely so your car isn't exposed while you wait. Most times, though, we stock what Bronx cars need and can finish the same day. Either way, we'll tell you the honest timeline before you commit to leaving it.
