Many early closed cars, such as the 1933 Pontiac Economy Eight had front and rear vent windows called "ventiplanes" and were installed on all GM products that year. Most often found on older vehicles on the front doors, it is a small roughly triangular glass in front of and separate from the main window that rotates inward (see top right image) for ventilation. This window may be set on hinges and is then also known as a vent window, wing window, wing vent window, or a fly window.

Quarter glass is also sometimes called a valence window. In some cases, the fixed quarter glass may set in the corner or "C- pillar" of the vehicle. Quarter glass (or quarter light) on automobiles and closed carriages may be a side window in the front door or located on each side of the car just forward of the rear-facing rear window of the vehicle.

Your car is safe from wind and rain – temporarily. You don’t have to use one continuous piece of tape – just make sure that they all align and don’t leave any gaps. Leave no gaps and ensure that every piece of tape holds the plastic tight against the inside of your window opening or the vinyl (or other material) of the top of your door. Use heavy-duty masking tape or duct tape to attach the plastic to your car all around the edge. Now that you’ve secured the plastic to your window opening – ensuring that the plastic is tautly stretched across the whole window with no gaps – it’s time to create a seal to keep out the wind and rain. Create a Seal Around the Edge of the Covering Secure the edge of the plastic to the inside of the car door to close the gaps and ensure that the plastic covering is taut when taped. Pull the plastic taut to the bottom of your car window and tape it to the inside of your car door as close to the window opening as possible.

Next, pull the plastic taut across to the top outside edge (farthest from your car) and repeat the process, being sure that the tape is securing the plastic to the rubber window sill. Be sure to secure the tape under the rubber window sill for a good fit and tight seal. Start at the top inside edge (closest to your car) and secure the plastic to the rubber window sill with masking or duct tape. Open your car door – you’ll be attaching the plastic to the inside of your car’s window. Tape the Covering to the Inside of the Window You want the plastic to fit onto your window and be pulled taut for the best results.

Measure your window and cut the plastic bag or covering to fit – plus about a half-inch on each side. If you can’t find a clear covering, any flexible resin plastic cover will do – just keep in mind that you won’t be able to see out of the window and it could create a safety hazard if you have to continue driving with a broken window and limited visibility.

Clear plastic garbage bags often make suitable coverings, but you can also find some clear plastic covers at a hardware or home goods store. Ideally, use a clear resin plastic to prevent tearing and present a tough and waterproof temporary cover. The best temporary window covering is a resin plastic sheet or bag. Dry the area and clean out any shattered glass from inside your car with a vacuum. You want to be sure to remove any dust, dirt, or other contaminants that would prevent tape or adhesive from sticking to surfaces. Dispose of the glass and thoroughly clean the window area and inside of your door.

You may need to use a hammer or mallet to break the remaining glass free but most glass should be easy to remove from the window. Get yourself a good pair of work gloves to protect your hands and clear any glass left in your car’s windowpane. Follow these tips to create a temporary cover for your broken car window. It’s important to get your window repaired as soon as possible. You’ve cleaned up the glass and scheduled a repair – now what do you do in the meantime? A broken window creates safety hazards, could allow rain and moisture to cause even bigger problems, and leaves your vehicle vulnerable to theft. Boom! Your window shattered, leaving you exposed to the elements on your daily drive.
