Most Chicago Heights drivers see back glass land between $200 and $450, depending on the vehicle, glass, and any calibration involved.

Back Glass FAQs — Chicago Heights
Does back glass replacement restore my rear defroster?
Yes — a proper replacement reconnects the defroster grid that's printed onto the glass, so your rear window clears again. Confirm the shop accounts for the defroster and any antenna in the glass.
Why did my back glass shatter into tiny pieces?
Rear and side windows are usually tempered glass, designed to crumble into small, dull-edged pieces instead of sharp shards. That's why a break-in often leaves a pile of pebble-like glass.
Can a Chicago Heights shop clean up all the broken glass?
Yes — a good Chicago Heights installer vacuums fragments out of the trunk, seats, and seals as part of the job, so you're not finding glass for weeks.
