Your rear window is essential for safe driving and reversing. It's also more vulnerable to damage than your windscreen because it's made from tempered glass rather than laminated glass, and its smaller size makes it prone to breakage from impacts and temperature changes.

When your rear window is damaged, arranging a replacement quickly keeps you safe and maintains your vehicle's structural integrity. Through UK Car Glass, we connect you with vetted technicians nationwide who can fit new rear glass at a time that suits you.

How rear window replacement works

Getting a new rear window arranged through UK Car Glass takes just a few clicks. Enter your vehicle's make, model, and year into our quote tool, and you'll receive an instant price based on your vehicle's exact specification.

Once you've booked, you'll hear from the technician handling your job — typically a time window the day before, or a call when they're on the way. We offer mobile appointments across the UK — the technician comes to you, and we keep you in the loop from booking through to completion.

A shattered rear window means shard cleanup is part of the job. Your technician will remove as much broken glass as they can reach, but small shards can lodge in places that need deeper access. For a thorough interior clean afterwards, we recommend a professional valet — glass shards can work their way into places fitters can't always reach on the day.

Why choose UK Car Glass

We've helped arrange 12,000+ car glass replacements across the UK and maintain nationwide coverage through 20 regional warehouses and a network of skilled technicians.

Every job comes with a 2-year workmanship warranty, and after you book, our team verifies the glass spec against your VIN before the job is dispatched. Replacements use factory-spec, UK-approved glass typically supplied by tier-1 manufacturers like Pilkington, Saint-Gobain, and AGC — meeting all safety and technical standards of your original window.

Rear window glass options

Most vehicles are fitted with factory-spec OEE glass as standard through our service. This glass meets all factory safety specifications and performs identically to Original Equipment branded glass — the difference is the absence of the OE logo stamp, not the features of the glass.

If you prefer Original Equipment branded glass, we can also arrange a quote through your vehicle's dealership. Our online quote tool defaults to OEE options, which offer excellent value without compromising safety or durability.

Mobile fitting across the UK

We arrange mobile appointments nationwide, meaning a technician visits your home, workplace, or chosen location to fit your new rear window. This eliminates the need for you to travel or wait in a garage.

Availability is typically next-day in most areas, though glass availability or technician scheduling may occasionally add one or two days. You'll be kept informed throughout the process and contacted on the day to confirm your technician's arrival time.

How it works

Three steps from damaged glass to back on the road. We're the booking platform — the people doing the work are vetted specialists from our UK-wide network.

  1. 1

    Get your price

    Tell the widget your make, model and year. We match your exact rear glass — including any heating elements or aerial wiring — and quote instantly.

  2. 2

    Book your specialist

    Pick a slot that works. We confirm a vetted specialist and whether the job is best done at your location or a workshop.

  3. 3

    Back on the road

    Under an hour for most jobs. We clear accessible shards on the day — a professional valet afterwards is recommended for thorough interior detailing.

What's guaranteed, every job

Fast turnaround

Most replacements are completed 1–3 days after booking. When a nearby specialist has a gap in their calendar, same-day or next-day fitting is often possible.

Matched to the same specifications

Your replacement glass matches your original spec — the same size, features and trim fitment as the glass the car left the factory with (just without the brand logo).

2-year workmanship warranty

Water leaks, wind noise, bonding issues — if the job the specialist did wasn't right, we make it right. Covered for two years from the date of replacement.

Excellent

Arrived on time, took a little bit longer to replace the rear window on a corsa hatchback but the work was excellent and all the broken glass was retrieved and disposed of. The guy from UK glass was very thorough and I would recommend this company should you need any car windows/windscreens replacing.

A quick, first class experience at a good price!

UK Car Glass did a superb job replacing my shattered heated rear screen. From my initial enquiry they swiftly followed up by email to exactly ensure my requirements, and the work was carried out efficiently the following day, including cleaning up all the shattered glass. Excellent value!

Rear windscreen replacement.

The operative turned up on time and changed my rear windscreen. Unfortunately I do not know if it was successful as he identified a wiring problem that he could not fix, so until that has been rectified I do not know if it works.
