Back glass is never a plain sheet and that is the whole story of this job. Look at the inside of one and you will find a defroster grid printed onto the surface with two connector tabs, very often the radio antenna printed alongside it, sometimes a wiper spindle hole, sometimes a cut-out for a high-mounted brake light, and on a hatch or liftgate a set of moulded mounting points that only fit one body. Two vehicles of the same year and badge can take different rear glass depending on whether one was built with a rear wiper or a different trim level. Which is why the conversation starts with the vehicle and not the price — the wrong pane fits the hole and then fails to do half of what the old one did.
The other thing worth knowing is that a lot of rear glass is bonded rather than dropped into a rubber surround, which means adhesive, preparation and a cure time on a window most people expect to be a quick swap. Tempered rear panes still collapse into cubes when they go, and those cubes end up spread across the entire cargo area, down the seat backs, into the spare wheel well and along the rear parcel shelf. Fitting takes well under an hour. Getting the load area genuinely clean, then reconnecting and testing the defroster grid and the wiper so both actually work, is what turns it into a finished job rather than a patched one.
“This was quite possibly the best auto service I've ever received. Joe comes to you and does the job in your driveway. Price was incredibly fair and the work was fast and efficient! Couldn't recommend this more!”

The vehicle that most often needs this in Deptford is the family SUV or hatchback, and its rear glass gets broken in ways nobody plans for: a bike rack loaded wrong, a hatch closed onto something standing proud of the load, a ladder or a length of timber shifting on the way back from the store, a stone thrown up by the car behind on 295. What that means practically is that the vehicle is usually loaded when it happens and still loaded when we arrive. Emptying the cargo area before the appointment is genuinely worth ten minutes of your time, because it is the difference between vacuuming a bare load floor and vacuuming around a week of gear that will keep handing cubes back for months.

Yes, because the grid is printed onto the glass itself rather than being a separate part, so it leaves with the old pane and arrives with the new one. What has to be right is the specification: the correct grid layout and the correct connector tabs for your vehicle, which is another reason the part is identified from the trim rather than the model name. The two connectors are refitted and the grid is tested before we leave, so you find out on the day rather than on the first cold morning in November.
Ideally not overnight, and the reason is water rather than security. A rear opening faces upward more than a side window does, so rain goes straight into the cargo area, down behind the seat backs and into the spare wheel well, where it sits under the carpet and does not dry out. That is how a broken window turns into a smell and eventually into corrosion. If the glass cannot be fitted the same day, cover the opening with film taped to the frame rather than to the paint, and park it nose-down if the driveway has any slope to it.
