On April 12, 2016, hail hit San Antonio hard enough to shatter car and home windows, and insured losses reached about $1.4 billion for homes and cars. The state's record 6.4-inch hailstone fell in nearby Hondo in 2021. When hail breaks your rear glass, we replace it where the car is parked. For other glass work, see our San Antonio auto glass page.

Rear Glass for Cars
Parked in the Open

Pickups, SUVs and sedans parked in driveways and open lots take hail on the rear glass first, since it's angled up toward the sky. That glass may carry a defroster grid, antenna lines, a rear wiper or a sliding window, so we match it to your VIN before the technician's visit.

Send your VIN and a photo of the opening, and we'll quote the exact rear glass for your model and trim before anyone comes out to you.

Don't Ignore
Back Glass Damage

Hail usually comes with heavy rain. With the rear glass gone, water pours into the back seat or cargo area, and the next storm cell can follow within the hour. Cover the opening as soon as it's safe.

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 hailstorm, Loop 410 and local roads are full of debris, low-water crossings and drivers braking suddenly for flooded spots.

Structural Weakness

Hail big enough to break rear glass can also dent the roof and trunk lid. That damage has to be checked before new glass will seal.

Defroster/Defogger Issues

A soaked cabin fogs up fast in South Texas humidity. Without rear glass there's no defroster grid to clear it until the new glass is fitted and reconnected.

Our Rear Glass Process After a Hailstorm

  1. Schedule Appointment

    Send photos of the damage, your VIN and address. After a big storm, demand for glass spikes across San Antonio, so we confirm your part is available and give you an honest date instead of a guess. We confirm the right part and send your free quote before any visit is booked.

  2. Thorough Assessment

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

  3. On-site Replacement

    The work happens where the car is parked, once the storm has passed and it's safe to work.

  4. Safe Removal of Damaged Glass

    Glass, hail debris and water come out of the frame, seats, cargo area and child seats.

  5. Back Glass Preparation & Installation

    The opening is dried out, cleaned and prepared, the new glass is set and sealed, and the defroster, antenna or sliding window 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 hail 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 San Antonio Back Glass

Request A Quote

Hail season comes back every spring, 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 hail claim paperwork and photos, so everything stays together.

The warranty covers the installation, not the next hailstorm. If hail breaks the glass again, that's new damage and a new claim. When the National Weather Service warns of hail in Bexar County, a garage or covered parking is the surest protection you have.

Hail Claims

Hail damage to rear glass is generally covered under comprehensive insurance, depending on your policy and deductible. Photograph the car, the glass and the hail itself before cleanup, with something for scale, since insurers often ask for photos like that after a big storm.

We work with most major insurance carriers and can help with the glass part of a hail claim. Dents to the roof or trunk are a separate repair, and your insurer decides coverage for each part. After a big storm, file early, since claim volume across the metro climbs fast and adjusters get booked out for weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only briefly and carefully. Clear loose glass, cover the opening with plastic and avoid driving into the next storm cell. Water in the cabin can damage electronics and carpets.
