Specialized service for fixed and operational vent windows
Vent windows, whether fixed or operational, require specialized expertise for proper replacement. At Ocean Auto Glass, we maintain a comprehensive inventory of both fixed and movable vent glass, including many hard-to-find pieces for classic and luxury vehicles. Our extensive stock enables us to provide same-day service for most vehicles, even when other providers might take weeks to source these specialized components.
Our certified technicians understand the unique challenges of vent window replacement, from proper seal alignment in fixed vents to precise mechanism adjustment in operational units. We specialize in both modern fixed vent windows, common in newer vehicles for aerodynamic design, and traditional pivoting vent windows found in classic cars. Our expertise extends to the intricate mechanisms and weatherstripping systems that keep these windows functioning properly and leak-free.
Using high-quality materials and precise installation techniques, we ensure your vent glass is properly sealed and aligned for optimal function. For operational vent windows, we verify smooth mechanism operation and proper sealing. Our attention to detail includes testing for water leaks and wind noise, ensuring your vent glass performs exactly as designed. Whether you need replacement of a modern fixed vent window or restoration of a classic car's pivoting vent, our team has the expertise and inventory to complete your service quickly and correctly.
When you contact us, we'll identify your exact vent glass type using your vehicle information. Our extensive inventory database helps us quickly confirm part availability and verify whether you have a fixed or operational vent window system.

Fixed vent windows are commonly found in modern vehicles as part of the aerodynamic design, typically near the side mirrors or A-pillars. Operational vent windows, more common in classic vehicles, can be opened for ventilation. We service both types with equal expertise, maintaining proper sealing and functionality for each design.
A typical vent glass replacement takes 30-45 minutes to complete. Even with operational vent mechanisms that need repair or replacement, most services are completed within an hour. Our extensive inventory of both glass and mechanisms helps avoid common delays.
Yes, we specialize in both modern and vintage vent window systems. We can repair or replace operational mechanisms, including handles, pivots, and latches. For classic cars, we understand the importance of maintaining original functionality while ensuring proper sealing.
Modern vent glass serves several purposes: it improves aerodynamics, reduces wind noise, and enhances visibility by eliminating blind spots. While no longer operational like classic vent windows, these fixed panels are crucial for vehicle design and safety.
Yes, we stock vent glass with various factory tint options and thicknesses to match your vehicle's specifications exactly. All our replacement glass meets or exceeds OEM specifications for both quality and safety standards.
