Shattered Stationary Back Glass on a 2009 GMC Sierra
The stationary back glass on this 2009 GMC Sierra was shattered but remained mostly intact because the aftermarket window tint held the tempered glass together. While this helped prevent loose glass from falling into the cab, the damaged back glass still needed to be removed carefully before a replacement could be installed.
Preparing the Replacement Back Glass for Installation
Before installation, the replacement back glass was carefully inspected to verify the correct fit, tint, and features for this 2009 GMC Sierra. Taking a few extra minutes to confirm everything matches helps prevent installation delays and ensures the new glass is ready once the window opening has been cleaned and prepared. Primed and ready for 30 minute SDAT.
Preparing the Pinch Weld for Installation
The remaining urethane adhesive was trimmed to the proper height using a pipe knife, creating the ideal bonding surface for the new back glass. Any contamination was removed before primer was applied where required, ensuring maximum adhesion and a long-lasting seal.
Cleaning and Preparing for the New Back Glass
Once the opening was fully prepared, fresh automotive urethane adhesive was applied and the new back glass was carefully positioned. Proper placement is essential for a weather-tight seal and helps ensure the rear defroster connections align correctly before the adhesive begins curing.
