Back Glass FAQs — Pekin
Does back glass replacement restore my rear defroster?
Yes — a proper replacement reconnects the defroster grid that's printed onto the glass, so your rear window clears again. Confirm the shop accounts for the defroster and any antenna in the glass.
Why did my back glass shatter into tiny pieces?
Rear and side windows are usually tempered glass, designed to crumble into small, dull-edged pieces instead of sharp shards. That's why a break-in often leaves a pile of pebble-like glass.
Can a Pekin shop clean up all the broken glass?
Yes — a good Pekin installer vacuums fragments out of the trunk, seats, and seals as part of the job, so you're not finding glass for weeks.
