Audi A7 rear window price, by year
Prices vary primarily by generation and whether the variant includes the antenna function. Early C7 models (2010–2014) typically represent the most affordable option. Later C7 and C8 variants with integrated antenna and encapsulated trim gaskets carry higher costs due to the precision required during fitting. Solar-control and dark-tinted glass options, where fitted as factory variants, may also influence final cost.

What to expect during your Audi A7 rear window replacement
Rear window replacement follows a straightforward booking-to-fitting process, though shard cleanup is a significant part of the work.
- 1
Book your replacement online using our guided quote tool — takes about a minute.
- 2
Our parts team verifies your exact rear window specification (heating, antenna, tint, encapsulation) at the checkout stage.
- 3
You're matched with an approved technician in your area who sources the replacement glass and schedules a fitting time.
- 4
On the day, your technician removes the shattered rear window, clears accessible glass debris, and installs your new rear window — typically 30–60 minutes of work.
- 5
A shattered rear window means small glass shards can lodge in places fitters can't always reach (under seats, trim channels, door seals). We recommend a professional valet afterwards for a thorough interior clean.
- 6
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before leaving, and your two-year warranty covers workmanship and glass quality.
Covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass — contact UKCG if any issues arise.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your A7?
Most A7 rear window replacements are fitted mobile at your address. However, if your model year includes front-facing camera systems (2016 onwards), your technician may recommend a workshop visit so that any required static camera calibration can be completed safely and accurately after the glass is set.
We don't split jobs across locations — if calibration is needed, the entire replacement and calibration happens at one workshop. Your technician will confirm the best location and timing when you book.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Antenna2
2010–2025An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.
What it means
An antenna is a conductive print laminated into the glass during manufacture, typically used for radio, DAB (digital audio broadcasting) or television reception. It replaces the traditional roof-mounted aerial mast found on older vehicles. The antenna is integrated into the glass interlayer and connected to the vehicle's receiver unit via a connector embedded in the glass edge. This design offers a cleaner aesthetic, reduces wind noise, and eliminates the vulnerability of a protruding mast to damage or theft.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's roof — if there is no visible aerial mast, your car likely has a laminated antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre whether your windscreen or rear window carries an antenna print. The connector may be visible on the glass edge or inside the door frame trim.
Replacement impact
When replacing glass with a laminated antenna, the replacement must carry the matching antenna print and connector to restore reception immediately on fitting. Aftermarket or original-equipment glass with the correct antenna specification is essential; a plain replacement will leave you without radio or DAB signal. Our fitters verify the antenna specification during booking and source the correct variant before the appointment.
Encapsulation2
2010–2025Factory-bonded rubber or polymer trim means your replacement glass arrives ready to fit as one complete unit.
What it means
Encapsulation is a rubber or polymer gasket moulded directly onto the glass edges during manufacturing. The trim is bonded to the glass at the factory — either by injection moulding, PU robot extrusion, or adhesive bonding. When you need a replacement, the entire panel arrives with its trim already attached, so the glass and gasket are replaced together as a single unit rather than as separate components.
How to tell
Check your current windscreen or rear window edges. If you see a continuous rubber or polymer seal running around the perimeter that appears moulded or permanently bonded to the glass itself — rather than a separate trim clipped or screwed to the frame — your glass is encapsulated. Ask your dealer or service centre to confirm; they can also check your vehicle specification sheet.
Replacement impact
Encapsulated glass simplifies replacement because there's no separate trim to remove, refit, or source. The bonded gasket is replaced as part of the glass unit, which reduces installation complexity and potential leak points. Cure time and drive-away procedures remain unchanged. No additional sourcing delays — encapsulated replacements are stocked as complete assemblies by most suppliers.
GPS2
2010–2025GPS antenna built into the windscreen connects your sat-nav to satellite signals for reliable navigation.
What it means
A GPS antenna is laminated into the windscreen glass during manufacture, providing a direct aerial connection for your vehicle's satellite-navigation system. This integrated design offers better signal reception than external antennas and a cleaner aesthetic. The antenna print and electrical connector are engineered into the glass itself, allowing the navigation receiver to lock onto GPS satellites without interference from the vehicle's metal body or other components.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's handbook or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen carries an integrated GPS antenna. You won't see obvious external aerials or connectors on the glass itself — the antenna is laminated internally. If your sat-nav works reliably without a visible roof-mounted antenna, it's likely GPS-equipped.
Replacement impact
Replacement windscreens with GPS antennas must be sourced as OEM (original-equipment) glass to preserve navigation functionality. The antenna print pattern and electrical connector are specific to your vehicle's sat-nav system. Aftermarket glass without the antenna print will not support GPS reception. We confirm OEM availability when you book; lead times may be slightly longer than standard glass.
TV Antenna2
2010–2025A TV-reception aerial printed into the rear window, typically for in-car entertainment systems.
What it means
A TV antenna is an aerial pattern laminated into the rear windscreen or rear side window to receive broadcast television signals. It's a separate system from the vehicle's radio or mobile antenna and is typically found in vehicles equipped with rear-seat entertainment systems. The antenna is printed directly onto or into the glass during manufacture, so when the glass is replaced, the antenna pattern must be reproduced on the replacement to maintain reception quality.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook for rear-seat entertainment or TV tuner capability. If your car has a rear-seat entertainment system with a TV tuner, the rear window will have a TV antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre to confirm whether your vehicle has this feature.
Replacement impact
When the rear window is replaced, the replacement glass must include the matching TV antenna print to preserve reception. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass is typically required to ensure the antenna pattern is identical. The antenna is passive and requires no calibration or specialist procedures after fitting. Cure time for bonded rear glass is required; the fitter will confirm the drive-away time on the day.
Dark Grey1
2010–2025Dark grey tint on rear windows provides privacy and reduces interior heat and glare.
What it means
Dark grey tint, formally known as privacy glass, is a factory-applied tint created through a deep-dipping process during glass manufacture. The pigment is infused into the inner surface of the glass, darkening the rear windows (and sometimes rear doors) significantly more than the front. This reduces heat transmission, minimises glare, and obscures the interior from outside view. It's standard on the rear half of many modern vehicles.
How to tell
Compare the rear side windows and rear window (backlight) to the front side windows — the rear glass will be noticeably darker. Check your vehicle documents or ask your dealership service centre if you're unsure whether your car left the factory with privacy glass.
Replacement impact
Dark grey tinted glass must be sourced from the Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) or dealership to ensure colour and transmission match your vehicle's existing rear glass. The tint is integral to the glass itself, not a surface coating, so aftermarket non-tinted glass will look visibly mismatched. Replacement does not require any calibration and follows standard bonded-glass cure times for rear windows.
Green1
2010–2025Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
What it means
Green tint is a light-filtering coating applied to the glass during manufacture. It absorbs and reduces transmission of certain wavelengths of light, primarily to cut glare from sunlight and reflections. The tint is subtle — often barely visible to the naked eye — but measurably improves visual comfort during prolonged driving, particularly in bright conditions. It's a factory specification chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance daylight comfort with interior visibility and aesthetic consistency across all glass in the vehicle.
How to tell
The easiest way to check is to roll your side window halfway down and hold a piece of white paper behind it. Look carefully for a tint cast — green tint will appear as a subtle green hue compared to clear glass. Your windscreen will have the same tint as your side windows. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre — they'll have the original specification on file.
Replacement impact
Green-tinted replacement glass must match the original tint specification to maintain visual consistency across all windows and preserve the vehicle's interior aesthetics. Aftermarket OE-equivalent (OEE) green-tinted glass is widely available, though some vehicles may require original equipment (OEM) dealership glass if the tint specification is proprietary. Tint does not affect calibration, cure time, or installation procedure — it's a cosmetic and functional specification only.
Solar Control1
2010–2025Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
What it means
Solar control is a coating applied to the windscreen that absorbs the sun's infrared radiation rather than allowing it to pass through into the cabin. This reduces solar heat gain, helping to keep the interior cooler and more comfortable, particularly in warm weather or direct sunlight. The coating is transparent to visible light, so it doesn't darken the windscreen or affect visibility. It's a passive thermal management feature that works continuously whenever the sun is shining on the glass.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or contact your dealership service centre to confirm whether solar control glass is fitted. Some manufacturers list it as 'solar control windscreen', 'heat-reflective glass', or 'thermal management glass'. It's a factory-fitted feature and won't be visibly obvious from outside the car — the coating is integral to the glass itself.
Replacement impact
Solar control glass is a factory-fitted specification. When replacing the windscreen, a solar control variant must be sourced to match the original. This is a standard glass type with no special fitting implications or calibration requirements. Cure and drive-away times follow normal windscreen bonding procedures. Confirm with your fitter that the replacement glass includes solar control to maintain the original thermal performance.
About the Audi A7
The Audi A7 has been in continuous production since 2010, evolving through two generations — the original C7 (2010–2018) and the current C8 (2018 onwards). Both generations feature a large rear window with integrated heating elements, antenna connectivity, and in some variants, encapsulated trim gaskets bonded directly to the glass.
From 2016 onwards, later A7 models introduced front-facing camera systems supporting Audi pre sense front and active lane assist. Whilst the rear window itself doesn't carry a camera, its heating and antenna functions remain critical to restore after replacement, and some workshop-based calibration of the vehicle's forward sensors may be required as part of a complete service.
Replacement glass matches your factory specification — heating elements, antenna prints, and trim encapsulation are verified at the parts check stage. Specialist technicians on our network source glass meeting UK road safety standards.
