Broken rear windshield or back glass? Auto Glass Factory provides professional rear windshield replacement in Phoenix, AZ, Glendale, and surrounding areas.
Rear auto glass damage can happen from road debris, theft, vandalism, storm debris, accidents, or sudden glass failure. In most cases, rear windshield glass cannot be repaired the same way a small front windshield chip can. If your rear glass is shattered or badly cracked, replacement is usually the safest option.
Auto Glass Factory is a local, family-owned auto glass company serving Phoenix-area drivers since 2007. Our certified technicians provide professional installation, free quotes, insurance help, and mobile auto glass service when available.

Can Rear Windshield Glass Be Repaired?
Most rear windshields are made from tempered glass. When tempered glass breaks, it usually shatters into many small pieces instead of forming a repairable chip or crack.
Because of that, rear windshield damage usually requires replacement.
You may need rear windshield replacement if:
- The rear glass is shattered
- The back window has fallen out
- The glass is cracked across a large area
- The rear defroster no longer works after damage
- The rear hatch or liftgate glass is broken
- The damage affects visibility
- The vehicle is exposed to weather or theft risk
If you are not sure what type of glass your vehicle has, Auto Glass Factory can inspect the damage and explain your options.
