$200 to $500 covers every pane other than the windshield: door glass, back glass, fixed quarter panes, vent windows and sunroof panels. On an older vehicle the price is rarely the hard part; availability is. Give 215-608-1108 the year, make, model and trim and you will get both a figure and a straight lead time, so you know whether the pane is here this afternoon or arriving in a few days.

Glass supply follows the market, not the car. Distributors stock deep on the panes that break most often in the vehicles built most recently, which means a door glass for a common late-model sedan is usually an hour away, while a fixed quarter pane or a vent triangle for a body that stopped being made fifteen years ago is a different search entirely. It is still findable, most of the time, through the distributor network and occasionally through reclaimed stock. What it is not is instant, and the useful thing a shop can do is tell you which of those two situations you are in on the first phone call rather than after you have arranged a ride home.
So identification comes before anything else. Trim decides more than model does: tint band, heating element, privacy glass, whether the pane is fixed or travels, whether a factory sunroof was ever fitted. Once the part is pinned down the work is familiar. Tempered panes collapse into thousands of blunt cubes rather than cracking, and those go into door skins, seat rails, the trunk well and the spare wheel recess. Fitting is the fast half. Clearing out what the old pane left is the slow half, and it is the part that decides whether the new glass gets scratched by its own predecessor over the next two years.
“Excellent job and great professional service. Dropped my car off 8am and it was done within two hours. Pricing for my window replacement was the most reasonable in the city of Philadelphia. Highly recommend.”

Strawberry Mansion keeps cars a long time, and that is the practical fact behind how this service runs here. A neighborhood of long-owned vehicles produces exactly the requests that catch other shops out: vent glass on a body nobody stocks, a quarter pane for a trim level that was only built for two years, back glass for a car whose original supplier has moved on. None of that is a problem as long as nobody pretends otherwise. What is a problem is being told the part is on its way when it is not, then losing a week. So the lead time gets given honestly, and if a pane genuinely cannot be sourced you will be told that too, before you have driven the twelve minutes over on Lehigh Avenue.

Usually yes, and more easily than people assume for door and back glass, which were made in volume and are still carried by distributors long after a model stops production. Where it gets harder is the low-volume panes: vent triangles, fixed quarters on particular trims, and anything that was only fitted to one variant. Those get searched properly rather than declined on sight, and the answer, with a real lead time, comes on the first call. If nothing exists new, reclaimed glass in good condition is sometimes the sensible route and you will be told what it is.
For side and rear panes, yes, in the great majority of cases. Tempered glass for door and quarter windows is made to a defined standard and the aftermarket versions meet it, which is why the range holds where it does regardless of which you take. The places to be careful are the ones with something printed or embedded in the pane: defroster grids, antennas, particular tint bands, acoustic layers. Those are worth matching precisely, and if there is a real difference between the options for your car you will hear about it before ordering.
