Side and rear windows run $200 to $450 with the shard cleanup included, and most are finished in under an hour. Tempered glass breaks into thousands of pieces that end up in the door shell, the seat rails and the carpet, so vacuuming is part of the job rather than an extra. Come in early and be back out before work.

A door window is mechanical work as much as glass work. The panel comes off, the broken pane gets lifted out of the regulator clamps, the shell is cleared of cubes so nothing rattles or jams the track months later, the new glass goes in and gets aligned until it seats against the weatherstrip without binding. Rear glass is a different animal: it's bonded to the body and carries the defroster grid, so the connectors have to be transferred and tested before you leave. Most of this work is done inside an hour with the glass on hand.
Pricing runs $200 to $450 with the shard cleanup counted in rather than added on later. If you carry comprehensive coverage, a smashed window is exactly what it's for, and we bill the insurer directly instead of handing you paperwork to chase around. If you'd sooner keep it off the policy, the cash figure is the one you already heard on the phone, and it doesn't change while the panel is off. Either way the car leaves vacuumed, because a week of finding cubes in the seat rails on the way down Burnside is its own small punishment.
“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.”

Two things about Fordham Heights make a broken side window worth handling the same morning. The first is rain. A missing window under the Jerome el lets water into a door shell that has nowhere to drain it, and seats soak through faster than you would guess on the short run home from the Deegan ramps. The second is that a taped-up opening marks the car as an easy one, and on blocks where parking pushes you three streets from your building, that matters. Sitting five minutes from most of the neighborhood is the practical part. People come in at seven in the morning, before traffic on Fordham Road thickens, and drive out with the glass in and the carpet clean well ahead of the workday.

If you can't get here before dark, yes, tape a bag or some sheeting over the opening and park where you can see the car. It keeps rain off the seats and makes the vehicle a little less inviting. It isn't a fix, though. Plastic drums against the door at any speed, and the cubes still inside the shell start scratching new glass the moment the window moves. One early morning settles it properly.
It should, and we check before you go. The regulator, the clips and the track all get looked at while the panel is off, and the glass is run up and down several times to confirm it seats and doesn't catch. If the break bent something in the mechanism, you'll hear what that costs before we touch it. Our workmanship warranty covers any rattle or wind noise from the install for as long as the car is yours.
