Side Window Replacement
A broken side window leaves your vehicle vulnerable to theft, weather damage, and creates an unsafe driving environment.
Whether your door glass was shattered in a break-in, damaged in an accident, or cracked from impact, Glass Monkey provides professional replacement service at your location. We source the correct glass for your specific vehicle and install it with precision to ensure proper fit, smooth operation, and complete sealing.
Key Benefits
- All Door Glass Types: We replace driver side windows, passenger side windows, and rear door glass on all vehicle types including cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and minivans. Each installation is matched to your vehicle’s exact specifications for proper fit and function.
- Smooth Window Operation: Side windows need to operate smoothly within the door frame. We ensure proper alignment and adjustment during installation so your window rolls up and down without binding, gaps, or unusual noise.
- Weather Seal Protection: Properly installed side windows create a tight seal when closed, preventing water leaks, wind noise, and air infiltration. We use quality materials and precise techniques to ensure your door glass seals correctly every time.
- Break-In Response Service: If your side window was broken in a break-in attempt or vandalism, we can provide fast response service to secure your vehicle and complete replacement quickly, often within the same day.

How long does side window replacement take?
Most side window replacements take 60 to 90 minutes from start to finish. Unlike windshields, side windows don’t require cure time, so you can drive your vehicle immediately after installation is complete.
Can I roll the window up and down right away?
Yes. Once we’ve completed the installation and tested the window operation, you can use it normally right away. We’ll demonstrate that it’s working properly before we leave.
What if my window motor or regulator is also broken?
We can diagnose and repair or replace window motors and regulators as part of our power window repair service. If we discover the mechanism is damaged during glass replacement, we’ll let you know and can often fix it during the same visit.
Do you clean up all the broken glass?
Yes. We carefully remove all broken glass from the door frame, vacuum glass fragments from the interior, and clean the surrounding area. We take special care to ensure no glass shards remain that could cause injury or damage.
Does insurance cover side window replacement?
Most comprehensive auto insurance policies cover side window damage from break-ins, vandalism, accidents, or other covered events. Coverage depends on your specific policy and deductible. We provide detailed invoices and documentation you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
