If your sunroof glass is cracked, shattered, or leaking, you may be wondering what happens during a replacement—and how long it takes. At RAM Auto Glass, we replace all types of sunroof and moonroof glass on-site, with minimal disruption to your day.
Here’s exactly what to expect when you book a sunroof replacement appointment with us in Vaughan, Mississauga, or anywhere in the GTA.
Step 1: We Confirm Your Glass Type and Fit
Sunroofs come in various shapes, sizes, and styles—panoramic, pop-up, tilt and slide, and more. Before we arrive, we confirm your vehicle’s make, model, and VIN to match the exact replacement glass. This ensures proper fit, tint, curve, and seal.
If your vehicle has factory or aftermarket sunroof glass, we can usually source a direct replacement—OEM or OEM-equivalent.
Step 2: We Inspect the Surrounding Hardware
At your appointment, our technician checks for:
- Frame damage or corrosion
- Drainage clogging or rust
- Motor or track issues (if powered)
If we find any problems beyond just the glass—like a jammed sunroof or faulty seals—we’ll let you know before proceeding.
Step 3: We Remove the Broken or Damaged Glass
After securing the surrounding area, we carefully remove the shattered or cracked glass using professional tools. We clean out any remaining fragments to ensure a smooth installation and protect your interior.
We also inspect the frame and weatherstripping at this stage to ensure proper bonding for the new glass.
Step 4: We Install the New Glass
The replacement sunroof is sealed using factory-grade adhesives and clamped into place if needed. We ensure all seals are tight and that the glass sits flush with your roofline.
If your sunroof is powered, we test tilt and slide functions to confirm full operation. If it’s a fixed panoramic panel, we inspect the seal and alignment from both inside and out.
Step 5: We Clean Up and Review Care Instructions
Before we leave, we clean the new sunroof and remove all debris. Then we walk you through important care notes, such as:
- When it’s safe to drive
- When it’s safe to use a car wash
- How to spot signs of leaks or shifting
We also leave you with our written warranty and a contact number for questions or follow-up.
How Long Does It Take?
Most sunroof glass replacements take 90–120 minutes. We come to you with everything needed—no need to visit a shop or wait around for parts.
Is It Covered by Insurance?
If the damage was caused by debris, vandalism, or impact (not a leak or wear-and-tear), it’s likely covered under your comprehensive auto insurance. We’ll help confirm your policy and handle the insurance paperwork for you.
What’s Not Included?
Our standard sunroof replacement covers the glass itself. If there are electrical issues, frame corrosion, or motor repairs required, we may recommend a specialty mechanic. We’ll never proceed with extra work without discussing it first.
