Ferrari 812 Superfast & GTS Sunroof Replacement
Let's talk about that glass roof on your Ferrari 812 Superfast or GTS. Whether a stray rock caught the edge on Highway 407 or stress cracks are starting to show, swapping out the sunroof on a V12 grand tourer isn't a job for the local quick-lube. You need precision, the right tools, and hands that know exactly how to treat Italian exotics.
At AlexWindshield, we handle high-end glass replacements every single day. The 2017-2024 Ferrari 812 series features a beautifully contoured roofline, and the glass panel sits completely flush to maintain the car's aerodynamics. If that fitment is off by even a millimeter, you'll hear wind noise at highway speeds, or worse, deal with water leaks. We bring our mobile auto glass service directly to your garage anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), including Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham. Your car stays safe at home and never has to sit in a dusty shop.
How We Replace the Glass
Here is exactly how I tackle the sunroof on an 812:
- Interior Protection: Before I even pick up a tool, I cover the leather seats, center console, and dashboard with heavy-duty protective blankets. Ferrari interiors are expensive, and I don't take chances with glass shards or debris.
- Panel Removal: I carefully cut through the factory urethane using a specialized wire-cutting tool. This method pulls the glass free without damaging the surrounding painted roof structure or the delicate headliner.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the broken glass is out of the way, I scrape the old adhesive down to a thin, even layer. Then, I clean the pinch weld thoroughly to strip away dirt and old residues.
- Primer Application: Any bare metal spots get a coat of high-grade automotive glass primer. This prevents future rust and gives the new adhesive a perfect surface to bite into.
- Adhesive & Installation: I lay down a thick, consistent bead of premium, fast-curing urethane adhesive. Using heavy-duty suction cups, I lower the new OEM-quality glass directly into place, making sure the gaps are perfectly uniform on all four sides.
