When Should You Replace a Side Window?
A side window replacement is necessary when:
- The window is shattered or cracked due to an impact, accident, or act of vandalism.
- The damaged glass compromises the proper closure and security of the vehicle.
- Compromised Safety and Sealing: Damage weakens protection against impacts and insulation.
- Exposure to Weather: A damaged window allows moisture and external noise to enter, affecting interior comfort.
Important:
A broken side window exposes your vehicle to theft, weather damage, and the risk of injury from glass shards. Don’t take any chances—replace your side window as soon as possible!
Emergency Plexiglass Installation
If immediate replacement is not possible, Carglass® can install temporary plexiglass to secure your vehicle, protecting it from weather and theft until the new window is installed.
For this service, a CHF 200 deposit is required, refundable only if the final replacement is carried out by Carglass® in Switzerland. The installation takes about one hour and includes the removal of debris and cleaning of the damaged area as well as the cutting and installing of the plexiglass.
