On April 19, 2025, Indianapolis International Airport recorded an 84 mph gust, the second-strongest in the station's history, the National Weather Service reported. A month later, a 74 mph gust followed. Gusts like that bring down limbs on parked cars across the city. We replace broken rear glass where the car sits.

Rear Glass for Cars
Parked Under Indianapolis Trees

Sedans, SUVs and pickups parked along tree-lined streets in Broad Ripple, Irvington or Meridian-Kessler take the brunt of a windstorm. Their rear glass carries a defroster grid, antenna lines or a rear wiper, and on pickups a sliding window, so we match each of those to your VIN before the technician's visit.

Don't Ignore
Back Glass Damage

Rear of a car with a cracked, broken back glass needing rear window replacement in Indianapolis

Spring storms in central Indiana rarely come alone. Rain usually follows the wind, and an open rear window lets it straight into the cabin. Tape plastic over the opening as soon as it's safe, then book the replacement.

Here's why you shouldn't delay getting a back glass replacement:

Compromised Visibility

Plastic over the opening blocks your rear view, and after a storm, streets and I-465 ramps are full of downed limbs, utility crews and detours you need to see behind you.

Structural Weakness

A limb heavy enough to break rear glass can also dent the roof edge or trunk lid. That has to be checked before new glass will seal properly.

Defroster/Defogger Issues

Indiana springs swing between warm afternoons and cold, damp mornings. Without the rear glass, there's no defroster grid to clear fog until the new glass is fitted.

Why Indianapolis Homeowners
Call Us After a Storm?

With a downed tree, a yard and an insurer to deal with, we take the rear glass off your list.

Photos Before Cleanup

We photograph the glass and branch damage before anything is moved, for your claim.

We Check What It Hit

Roof edge, trunk lid and seal, so nothing is missed.

Glass and Water Out

Tempered glass and rainwater come out of seats, carpets, cargo areas and child seats before the new glass goes in.

Work Around the Tree

If the limb can't move yet, we plan around its removal.

Our Rear Glass Process After an Indianapolis Storm

  1. Schedule Appointment

    Send photos of the damage, your VIN and address. If the limb is still on the car or a tree crew is booked, tell us and we'll schedule around them. After a big storm, we confirm the right glass is in stock and give you an honest date before booking anything.

  2. Thorough Assessment

    The technician checks the roof edge, trunk lid or liftgate and rear frame for dents the limb left, inspects the seal and confirms the defroster and antenna connections. If body work has to come first, you hear it before anything is spent on glass.

  3. On-site Replacement

    The work happens where the car is parked, once the area is clear of hanging limbs and storm debris.

  4. Safe Removal of Damaged Glass

    Glass, leaves, twigs and water come out of the frame, seats, cargo area and child seats.

  5. Back Glass Preparation & Installation

    The opening is dried and cleared of storm debris, the new glass is set and sealed, and the defroster, antenna or slider is reconnected and tested.

  6. Quality Check & Final Touches

    The technician tests the defroster, checks the seal for gaps rain could find, and points out dents worth reporting to your insurer. You get drive-away guidance, a written record of the job and the damage photos for your claim before the technician leaves your driveway.

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on Eligible Indianapolis Back Glass

Request A Quote

Severe weather season in central Indiana runs from March into summer, so it helps to know what's covered. Eligible rear glass replacements carry our lifetime workmanship warranty, subject to current terms. If rain gets in around the new glass or trim lifts because of the installation, contact us and we'll come back to it. Keep the job record with your claim paperwork and photos.

The warranty covers the installation, not the next storm. If another branch breaks the glass, that's new damage and a new claim. Trimming limbs over where you park, and moving the car clear of trees when high winds are forecast, lowers the odds.

Storm-Damage Claims

Damage from a falling tree or branch is generally a comprehensive claim, depending on your policy and deductible. Photograph the limb on the car from a few angles before it's moved, since insurers often ask for exactly that after a storm.

We work with most major insurance carriers and can help with the glass part of a storm-damage claim. If the tree came from a neighbor's yard, your own comprehensive coverage usually still handles your car first, and the insurers sort out the rest. Body damage is a separate repair, and your insurer decides coverage for each part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only if it's small and safe to lift, and take photos first. A heavy limb, or one near power lines, needs a tree service or AES Indiana, not us.
