A cracked or shattered panoramic sunroof is one of the bigger glass jobs on a modern car. Trident Auto Glass repairs and replaces panoramic sunroof glass for drivers in North York, Markham, Vaughan and Toronto, and we can come to you. Here is what to expect, from whether it can be repaired to what it usually costs.
Can a cracked panoramic sunroof be repaired?
Sometimes. If the crack is smaller than a loonie and does not start at the edge of the glass, we can often repair it. Cracks bigger than a loonie, and cracks that run from the edge, cannot be repaired, so the panel needs to be replaced.

Why panoramic sunroofs crack
The most common causes are stones and road debris, sudden temperature changes (for example hot sun on a cold glass panel), and stress from the frame or mounting. Sometimes a panel cracks with no obvious impact at all.
Is it safe to drive with a cracked sunroof?
A crack can spread, and some panels can shatter all at once. Avoid driving in heavy rain or on the highway until it is fixed, keep the shade closed, and book the repair or replacement as soon as you can.
Mobile sunroof replacement
You do not need to drive a car with a broken roof across town. Our mobile service can replace your sunroof glass at your home or workplace.
How much does panoramic sunroof replacement cost?
In Ontario, panoramic sunroof glass replacement usually costs somewhere between $1,000 and $2,500. Some luxury vehicles cost more, especially if the whole sunroof assembly has to be replaced rather than just the glass.
Your price depends on your vehicle make and model, the size and shape of the panel, and whether you choose OEM or aftermarket glass. For an exact quote, send us your vehicle year, make and model, or your VIN.
Does insurance cover a broken sunroof?
Glass damage is often covered under comprehensive coverage, depending on your policy. Check with your insurer, and we can help you with the claim.
