Professional Back Glass Replacement

Expert rear window replacement with emergency service and defrost repair

Back glass damage requires immediate attention as the entire window can shatter into thousands of pieces, leaving your vehicle exposed and unsafe. At Ocean Auto Glass, we understand this urgency and provide rapid emergency response service, including professional cleanup of broken glass and temporary protection until replacement can be completed. Our emergency team arrives equipped with industrial-grade vacuum equipment to ensure thorough removal of all glass fragments, protecting you and your vehicle's interior.

We maintain a comprehensive inventory of back glass for popular models, including Toyota Sienna, Highlander, Camry, and Honda Odyssey and Pilot, enabling us to provide same-day replacement service for many vehicles. Our certified technicians are specially trained in handling the complex electrical components found in modern back glass, including heated defrost grids, antennas, and satellite radio receivers. This expertise ensures all electrical systems work perfectly after installation.


Our installation process uses only high-quality glass and advanced urethane adhesives that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. We pay particular attention to the critical bonding areas where the back glass contributes to your vehicle's structural integrity, especially important in modern vehicles where the back glass is a structural component. Our careful installation process guarantees a weather-tight seal that prevents leaks and wind noise, while proper electrical connections ensure all integrated systems function correctly.
