There are several differences between a front windshield replacement and a back window replacement. For starters, the two use different types of glass. The front windshield is made of laminated glass, which consists of two or three layers of glass. When this glass sustains an impact, it will likely not shatter. This helps to protect your eyes and hands in the event of a collision or other accident. back windows are made from tempered glass. When this glass sustains an impact, the glass is designed to shatter into pebble-sized pieces that prevent injury. This difference in glass type also results in a difference in price.In addition, your back window is likely connected to a back defrost grid. This helps to melt ice and snow off your window so you can see while driving. Because of this grid, installing a back window can take a little extra time and care. This is another reason why the cost of a back window replacement may be more than a windshield replacement.Last but not least, a damaged back window usually requires more cleanup. Chips and cracks are not the most common issues we see. Windows that have been shattered or damaged beyond repair often need thorough cleanup to remove all glass and debris from the vehicle. All of the glass must be removed before we can install a new one. Because front windshields usually don’t shatter, this level of cleanup and care is usually not required.
