On an SUV, crossover or hatchback, the back glass is usually the window in the liftgate. It carries more than glass: a rear wiper, a washer nozzle, defroster lines and, on some models, hinges for a flip-up window. When it breaks, all of that has to come across or be reconnected. This page covers liftgate glass. For everything else, see our Atlanta auto glass page.

Rear Windshield and Liftgate Glass
Replacement for Atlanta SUVs and Hatchbacks

Rear windshield, back windshield, back window and liftgate glass all mean the same part on most SUVs: the fixed glass in the rear door. What changes between models is what's mounted on it. A rear wiper needs a sealed hole in the glass, and some liftgates have a window that opens separately.

Your VIN tells us which version your vehicle has, including factory privacy tint, the wiper hole position, defroster and antenna lines and any hinges or brackets.

Why a Broken Liftgate
Window in Atlanta Shouldn't Wait?

With the liftgate glass gone, the cargo area is open to rain and anyone walking past, and it's often where people keep things they'd rather not carry around. Broken tempered glass also keeps falling from the frame whenever the liftgate opens or closes, spreading more pieces across the cargo floor.

Here's why you shouldn't put off replacing liftgate glass:

Restricted Rear Visibility:

Plastic taped over a broken liftgate leaves no view through the back, and on an SUV the side mirrors don't make up for that when reversing out of a space.

An Exposed Cargo Area:

The cargo area sits right below the opening, along with the third row on some models. Rain from an Atlanta thunderstorm soaks into the carpet and spare tire well, and stays there.

Wiper, Defroster and Camera Problems:

The rear wiper motor and washer nozzle sit open to the weather until the glass is back. Some liftgates also carry a backup camera or brake light near the glass.

Why Correct
Liftgate Glass Fitment Matters?

Liftgate glass moves every time the door opens and closes, so the fit has to hold up to that movement.

Rearward Visibility:

VIN-matched glass keeps the original tint and shape, so the rear view looks as before.

Accurate Fit and Sealing:

The glass sits evenly in the opening, so the liftgate closes properly and stays watertight.

Wiper, Hinges and Lines:

The wiper hole has to line up with the motor, and any hinges or brackets must transfer correctly.

Careful Broken-Glass Cleanup:

Glass collects in the liftgate seal, cargo area and spare tire well, so all three get cleaned.

WindshieldHUB replaces liftgate and rear glass at your home, office or wherever the SUV is parked in Atlanta, so you don't drive it open.

Mobile Service Where You Park:

A driveway or parking space with room behind the vehicle is ideal, since the liftgate needs to open fully during the job.

VIN-Matched Liftgate Glass:

Your VIN identifies the shape, tint and wiper hole position, and whether your model has a separate window that opens.

OEM and OEM-Equivalent Options:

We can quote OEM or OEM-equivalent liftgate glass where available. Both are made to fit your vehicle and come with matching features.

Our 6-Step Liftgate Glass Replacement Process

  1. Share Your Vehicle Information

    Send your VIN, a photo of the liftgate and your Atlanta address. Phone and email work too, and we'll confirm the glass before booking.

  2. Confirm the Correct Glass

    We check the tint, wiper hole and any hinges or brackets against your VIN, so the new liftgate glass matches the original.

  3. Protect the Vehicle

    The technician covers the cargo area, bumper and paint around the liftgate and removes the wiper arm and interior trim panel.

  4. Clean Accessible Broken Glass

    Broken glass is removed from the frame and seal, then vacuumed from the cargo area, spare tire well and rear seats.

  5. Prepare and Install the Glass

    The opening is cleaned and primed, fresh urethane is applied, and the new glass is set. The wiper, washer nozzle and any hinges are reinstalled.

  6. Inspect and Document the Service

    The technician tests the wiper, washer and defroster, checks the seal, and tells you how long to avoid slamming the liftgate while the urethane cures.

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty

Request a Free Quote

Eligible replacements carry a lifetime workmanship warranty, subject to current terms. It covers how the glass was installed, such as a leak around the liftgate glass or wind noise from the seal. If you notice either, contact us and we'll inspect it.

The warranty doesn't cover new damage after the replacement, like a rock or a break-in, or damage from a liftgate slammed before the urethane cured. Your manufacturer warranty is separate.

Insurance Help for Atlanta Liftgate Glass Replacement

Liftgate glass broken by a falling branch, hail, a stone or vandalism is often covered under the comprehensive part of an auto policy. We work with most major insurance carriers and can help you start the claim.

Your insurer decides what's covered and what deductible applies. Have your policy number, the date it happened and a few photos of the liftgate ready, since the claim usually asks for those details. Georgia doesn't require comprehensive coverage, so check whether your policy includes it before you file a claim for broken back glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

The quote depends on the vehicle and the glass. Liftgate glass with a wiper hole, defroster, antenna lines, privacy tint or flip-up hinges is a different part from plain rear glass, and OEM glass is quoted separately from OEM-equivalent. Your VIN settles which you need.
