A Land Rover is the vehicle of choice when you need transportation in extreme and inhospitable conditions. These vehicles are built to be tough and durable. Easy to handle and easy to maintain, a Land Rover is the perfect vehicle for those who have an adventurous lifestyle. The short front and rear overhangs give this vehicle a clear advantage when it comes to conquering the worst possible roads. To match this tough automobile's resilient construction it is important to ensure that the best care is taken when you have Land Rover windshield replacement and auto glass repair needed.

Considering the resilience of the Land Rover it is quite surprising that auto glass replacements for this vehicle are reasonably affordable. You can replace the front passenger door on a Land Rover four door utility at about a third less than your Land Rover's. The rear door glass replacement for any vehicle is usually the more expensive part and this is true of the Land Rover too. Replacing the rear passenger door on your Land Rover four door utility may even be more expensive than doing the same for a GMC Acadia.

Although all of the Land Rover designs share a similar look there are some significant differences between them. These differences spill over into their auto glass needs as well. For example, the Range Rover Evoque has body that is reminiscent of a crossover, but with roomier interiors. This vehicle comes with a full glass fixed panoramic roof to let in the sunlight. The LR4 favors a simpler design with the extended cab at the rear requiring separate auto glass to cover in addition to the front, rear, windshield, back glass, and quarter glass. The shape of glass used in each, its size and the way in which it fits into the framework of the Land Rover, all differ with different models. When you need effective Land Rover windshield replacement and auto glass repair make sure you only trust technicians who have prior experience with these vehicles.

Some Land Rovers use a vinyl coated molding in the windshield area that cannot be salvaged during auto glass replacement. An experienced technician will have a replacement molding ready at hand before he starts cutting out the glass. This ensures that there are no delays in the car glass replacement for your Land Rover. If your service provider has worked with Land Rovers extensively he will also be aware of some of the tips and tricks to use to make the job easier. For example, the cowl panel can simply be displaced to afford access for glass removal, instead of being removed entirely. Since the cowl panel is hampered by the tight hood, forcibly removing the panel could result in damage to the panel itself.

Land Rover Auto Glass Parts

Finding parts for your Land Rover windshield replacement and auto glass repair should not pose much problem. Do ensure that your auto glass service provider only uses OEM glass and parts during the replacement or repair though. OEM glass is designed to match the vehicle's specifications perfectly and also manufactured to keep pace with the Land Rover's typical rough usage. Opting for a low cost door glass replacement with used glass or unbranded glass could prove to be expensive in the long run. Such glass will definitely not sustain as much impact or offer as much life as OEM glass. When choosing a service provider for your Land Rover windshield replacement and auto glass repair, check if they can supply OEM spares from suppliers at discounted rates.

The Rover Company launched its Land Rover model on April 30th, 1948 at the Amsterdam Motor Show. It was, at the time, a name applied to the specific model, but would later become a brand name offering several different four-wheel drive models.

The brand has changed hands many times over the years, starting in 1967 when Rover became part of Leyland Motors Ltd which later became British Leyland. The legendary Range Rover was introduced under British Leyland in 1970. The Land Rover Leyland Group was established in 1975 after British Leyland was nationalized. This is when the Land Rover became a brand of its own.

In 1994, BMW bought the Land Rover Group and the second-generation Land Rover is introduced to the market. The Land Rover Classic – the original model – was still sold until 1995. Land Rover was separated from the Rover Group in 2000 and was sold to Ford. The sale was worth £1.8.

Land Rover changed hands again in 2008 when Ford sold the make to Tata Motors along with Jaguar. Second only to the Jeep, the Land Rover is the oldest brand of four-wheel drive vehicle. Although it has seen many changes since its inception in 1948, the Land Rover is still considered one of the most respected names in the all-terrain vehicle industry.
