Most side and rear tempered glass is $200 to $450 and takes about an hour, cleanup counted in. It is the quickest job in the bay, and panes for the common models are stocked. A Tremont car that arrives at seven with a bag taped over the door is usually gone again before nine.

A tempered pane does not crack, it converts. One hit and the whole window becomes a few thousand blunt cubes, most of which drop straight down inside the door and settle on the regulator and along the run channel at the bottom. That is the part that matters after you drive away. Cubes left in the track grind against the new pane and chew the felt in the channel, so the window comes up slow and noisy and eventually stops sealing at the top.
Stripping the door, emptying the cavity and cleaning the track is the bulk of the labor, and it sits inside the quoted price rather than on top of it. The rest is quick. With the glass on the shelf, most side and rear jobs run about an hour at $200 to $450. Rear windows take longer where a defroster grid or a printed antenna is involved, because those tabs get soldered and heat-tested rather than clipped and hoped for. Before the car goes anywhere the window cycles up and down under power, the belt seal is checked, and the seat rails, carpet and trunk lip are vacuumed out. Comprehensive claims we file at the counter. You drive off with a sealed car instead of a bag and tape.

What gets taken out of a Tremont car is usually worth less than the window it cost. The pattern on these blocks is opportunistic and fast: a service road at the bottom of a ramp, a stretch of avenue that empties once the stores pull their gates down, a hill street where the parked cars sit nose-down and out of sight of the buildings above. One punch at the rear door window, half a minute inside, gone. The people who turn up at seven have already spent a night with a garbage bag taped to the frame and a drive to work with the thing drumming next to their ear. Since Tremont is under two miles out, putting it right is genuinely a morning errand rather than a day off. Drive in as the car sits, plastic and all, and the mess is handled along with the glass.

Often not, but it is worth checking while the door is open. The cubes fall down inside the door and settle on the regulator and in the run channel, and glass left in that track grinds the new pane and shreds the felt. We clear the cavity and the channel and then cycle the window under power before the car leaves, so you find out on the day rather than in a month.
Then you hear it at the counter with a real time attached, not a maybe. Door and rear glass for the common models is stocked, and most of what we do not carry is in the region and lands the same day. A rare or heated pane can run to the next morning. Either way the opening gets covered properly so the car is not left standing open on the street.
