How much does it cost to replace a Dodge Charger window?
Expect a few hundred to about a thousand dollars, depending on which window and features are involved.
When a Dodge Charger needs a window replacement, the total can vary widely based on the window type, glass choice, labor rates, and whether additional work like regulator replacement or ADAS recalibration is required. This article breaks down typical price ranges, factors that influence cost, and tips for obtaining accurate quotes.
What affects the price
Several factors drive the final bill, from the type of glass to regional labor rates and any required sensor recalibration after replacement.
Estimated replacement costs by window type
Below are typical ranges for common Charger window replacements. These figures include parts and labor but exclude tax and disposal fees. Actual quotes may vary by shop and location.
- Front windshield: 300–900 dollars. If advanced features are present, ADAS recalibration may add 100–300 dollars.
- Front side windows (driver or passenger door): 150–350 dollars for glass alone; with regulator or motor replacement, total often 300–700 dollars.
- Rear window (back glass): 250–600 dollars; defroster wiring or antennas can push the price higher.
- Sunroof glass (if equipped): 800–1,200 dollars or more, depending on glass and mechanism.
Prices are affected by whether you choose OEM (dealer) glass or aftermarket alternatives, and by regional labor rates. Getting multiple, itemized quotes helps you compare apples to apples.
What can push the price higher
Some scenarios tend to raise costs beyond the base ranges above. Knowing them helps you budget and negotiate.
- OEM vs aftermarket glass: OEM glass is typically more expensive but may offer a closer fit and finish.
- Labor rates and shop type: Dealerships usually charge more than independent auto glass shops; prices vary by region.
- Regulator or motor replacement: If the window mechanism is faulty, parts and labor add to the bill.
- ADAS calibration: Recalibrating cameras and sensors after windshield replacement can add to time and cost.
- Additional features: Heated glass, tint, rain sensors, or embedded defrosters can raise the price.
- Taxes and disposal fees: Local taxes and old glass disposal may affect the final total.
To get an accurate estimate, obtain several quotes and ask for itemized breakdowns that separate glass cost, labor, regulator work, and any calibration fees.
How to get an accurate quote
Contact multiple local auto glass shops and, if applicable, your insurer. Provide details about your Charger’s window type, any optional features (sunroof, ADAS, tint), and whether a regulator or motor needs replacement. Ask for a written quote that clearly lists parts, labor, and any calibration or disposal charges.
Summary
For a Dodge Charger, the cost to replace a window generally ranges from a few hundred dollars for basic side windows to close to a thousand dollars for a full windshield replacement with ADAS recalibration. Rear windows and sunroofs fall in between, with higher costs for models equipped with advanced features. Prices vary by window type, glass choice, labor rates, and whether additional work is required. Getting multiple, itemized quotes is the best way to ensure you’re paying a fair price.
