Auto glass has moving parts, and moving parts wear out. Regulators, motors, sunroof tracks, drains, and seals fail all the time, usually at the worst possible moment, like a window that drops down and will not come back up before a week of rain. Auto Glass Works repairs and replaces the mechanisms that make your glass work, right where your vehicle sits.
Window Regulators & Motors
The regulator is the lift mechanism inside your door that raises and lowers the window, and the motor is what powers it. When one gives out you usually get a warning: grinding or clicking on the way up, a window that moves crooked or slips off track, one that falls down into the door, or a motor that hums without moving anything. We replace regulators and motors and get your window rolling like it should. We normally install quality aftermarket parts because they work correctly and keep the repair reasonably priced, and if an OEM part is available and you want it, we can price that option before anything is ordered.
Window Won't Roll Up?
That is the phone call we get, and there are a few usual suspects: a failed regulator, a dead motor, a bad switch, or glass that has come off its track. Sometimes it is the glass itself that broke inside the door. Call or text 816-286-3921 and describe what it is doing. We can often narrow down the likely cause, but some problems require an in-person diagnosis before we can confirm the repair and price. If it turns out you need the glass replaced instead, we do that too. See our door glass and window replacement service.
Sunroof Repair & Replacement
We work on many factory sunroof systems, including glass, tracks, motors, and related operating components. We also diagnose sunroof leaks, which may come from blocked drain tubes, debris, damaged or misaligned components, sealing surfaces, or another part of the roof system. We identify the source before recommending a repair.
For aftermarket sunroofs added after the vehicle was built, we can consider the job only when the brand and model can be positively identified and the correct parts are available. If you are not sure what you have, send us photos and we will take a look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my window roll up?
Usually one of four things: the regulator (the lift mechanism) failed, the motor died, the switch went bad, or the glass came off its track. Occasionally the glass itself has broken down inside the door. Call or text 816-286-3921 and tell us what it is doing. We can often narrow down the likely cause before coming out, but we will confirm the failure before ordering parts or completing the repair.
Do I need a whole new regulator, or just the motor?
It depends on the vehicle and the failure. On many vehicles the regulator and motor come as one assembly, and on others they can be replaced separately. We will tell you what your vehicle actually needs, not just what is easiest to sell.
Do you work on aftermarket sunroofs?
Sometimes. If we can positively identify the brand and model, we can determine whether the correct parts are available and whether it is a repair we can perform. If it cannot be identified, we will tell you honestly rather than guess at parts on a roof opening. We also service many factory sunroof systems, subject to diagnosis and parts availability.
Can you fix a leaking sunroof?
Yes, we diagnose and repair many sunroof leaks. Common causes can include blocked drain tubes, debris, damaged sealing surfaces, or misaligned components. We find the likely source before recommending a repair instead of simply adding caulk and hoping it holds.
Do you use OEM or aftermarket parts?
For regulators and motors we normally install quality aftermarket parts because they work correctly and keep the repair reasonably priced. If an OEM part is available and you would rather have it, we can price that option before anything is ordered.
Will insurance cover this?
Usually not, and we would rather tell you that upfront. Mechanical wear and failure, like a worn regulator or a burned-out motor, is generally not covered by insurance. If the damage came from something like a break-in or an accident, your comprehensive or collision coverage may apply. We cannot guarantee what your policy includes, but we can help you understand the claim process if you think your situation qualifies.
