Identify the damaged glass, learn which vehicle details matter and reach the appropriate repair or replacement service.
Windshield: A chip or crack in laminated windshield glass may be eligible for windshield repair, depending on its size, depth, location and condition. Damage that is not suitable for repair requires windshield replacement. Windshield-mounted cameras or sensors may affect glass selection and calibration planning.
Moving door window: Shattered or badly damaged door glass generally requires side-window replacement. Tell Atlas which door is affected and whether the window regulator still moves.
Rear window: Rear glass may include defroster lines, antennas, tint and a rear-wiper opening. Share those features when requesting rear-window replacement.
Quarter or vent glass: These smaller fixed windows can look similar across trims. A photo of the vehicle side and the VIN help identify the correct piece.
Sunroof or panoramic roof: Describe whether the glass is cracked, shattered, leaking or not moving. Roof-glass and mechanism concerns follow a different inspection path; start with the sunroof service page.
Repair is generally considered for eligible laminated-windshield chips or cracks. Shattered door, rear, quarter and vent glass usually requires replacement. Atlas confirms the correct service after reviewing the damage and vehicle.
Describe whether the damage is in the windshield, a moving door window, the rear window, a fixed quarter or vent window, or roof glass. Photos of the full vehicle side and the damaged opening help identify the part.
Provide the year, make, model, VIN when available, damaged glass location and photos. Mention cameras, sensors, antennas, defrosters, tint, rain sensors, rear wipers and other visible features.
