Audi Q5 rear window price, by year
Prices vary with generation and equipment levels — earlier Q5s without integrated features are typically more affordable, whilst later models with antenna integration or solar-control glass carry higher calibration and sourcing costs. ADAS-equipped variants may require workshop scheduling for any related systems work.

What to expect during your Audi Q5 rear window replacement
Rear window replacement follows a straightforward process from quote to fitting.
- 1
Get an instant quote through our online tool in under 60 seconds by selecting your Q5's year and specification.
- 2
Book online and we'll match you with an approved fitter in your area who specialises in Audi glass replacement.
- 3
Your fitter carries out a pre-fit parts check to confirm your replacement glass matches your factory specification.
- 4
On fitting day, the shattered rear glass is removed and replaced — typically 30–60 minutes of the fitter's time. Shard cleanup is part of the job, though small pieces can lodge in places that aren't easily accessible.
- 5
We recommend arranging a professional interior valet afterwards for a thorough clean, as glass fragments can work into trim channels and under seats.
- 6
Your replacement is covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
The whole process — from quote to booking to fitted — takes just minutes online, with your local fitter handling the rest.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Q5?
Most Q5 rear window replacements are carried out mobile at your address — this is the default for all standard bookings. Your fitter arrives with tools and adhesive, removes the shattered glass, clears accessible shards, and bonds in the replacement.
Unlike windscreen ADAS calibration, rear window jobs don't typically require workshop scheduling. If any broader vehicle system checks are flagged during the booking process, we'll discuss location options with you in advance.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Alarm Wire4
2008–2026A thin metal wire embedded in the glass forms part of your vehicle's alarm circuit and must be present in the replacement panel.
What it means
An alarm wire is a fine metal thread laminated into the windscreen or rear window glass as part of the vehicle's anti-theft or alarm system. Unlike heated-wire windscreens (which warm the glass), alarm wires carry a continuous electrical loop that detects glass breakage. When the glass shatters, the wire breaks and triggers the alarm. The wire serves no structural or visibility purpose—it exists purely for security detection.
How to tell
Check your vehicle handbook or ask your dealership service department whether your model includes an alarm wire in the windscreen or rear window. You won't see it easily from inside or outside the vehicle—it's laminated into the glass itself. If your car has an audible or visual alarm triggered by glass breakage (separate from motion sensors), an alarm wire is likely present.
Replacement impact
If your windscreen or rear window includes an alarm wire, the replacement glass must have an identical wire fitted to restore the alarm loop. This is a dealership-specification requirement and affects glass sourcing—aftermarket glass may not carry the wire, so OEM (original equipment) glass is often necessary. The wire itself does not affect fitting time, cure time, or calibration requirements. Confirm wire presence when booking so we source the correct glass variant.
Antenna4
2008–2026An 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.
Other Hardware4
2008–2026Factory-fitted brackets and mounts bonded to the glass, pre-assembled and ready to fit without sub-assembly.
What it means
Other Hardware refers to factory-fitted brackets, mounts, connectors, or trim pieces bonded permanently to the windscreen or other glass during manufacturing. These are integral to the vehicle's design but do not activate or control a specific feature — they simply secure or position components like sensors, trim strips, or mounting points. Unlike feature-specific hardware, these items are passive structural elements. A replacement carrying Other Hardware arrives pre-bonded and ready to install without additional assembly or modification.
How to tell
Check your vehicle documentation or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen or glass panel carries factory-bonded brackets or mounts. Visual inspection may reveal trim strips, sensor housings, or antenna mounts bonded to the edges or interior surface of the glass. Your original invoice or parts list will specify if Other Hardware is present.
Replacement impact
Replacement glass carrying Other Hardware must be sourced as a complete assembly — the brackets and mounts come pre-bonded from the supplier and cannot be transferred from the old glass. Installation is straightforward: the fitter removes the old glass and fits the replacement with its hardware already in place. No additional sub-assembly, bonding, or recalibration of the hardware itself is required. Fitting time is unaffected.
Dark Grey2
2008–2026Dark 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.
Fitting Hardware2
2008–2017Pre-fitted clips and brackets that secure the glass to your vehicle, supplied ready to bond as a complete unit.
What it means
Fitting hardware comprises the clips, brackets, mouldings and adhesive retention components that hold the glass securely in place on your vehicle's frame. When your replacement glass is supplied with fitting hardware pre-attached, it arrives as a ready-to-install assembly rather than as bare glass requiring separate hardware attachment during the fit. This streamlines the replacement process and ensures correct positioning and fitment.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's service history or contact your dealership service department with your registration number. They can confirm whether your glass comes with pre-fitted hardware as standard. Visually, pre-fitted hardware appears as clips or brackets already bonded or attached to the glass edges before it reaches the fitting technician.
Replacement impact
Glass supplied with pre-fitted hardware typically requires no additional labour to attach clips or brackets during the fit, reducing technician time at the vehicle. The hardware must be in good condition and correctly positioned for the glass to seal and function properly. If hardware is damaged during removal of the old glass, replacement or repair of that hardware may be needed before the new glass can be fitted securely.
Green2
2008–2026Green 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 Control2
2008–2026Solar 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 Q5
The Audi Q5 has been in continuous production since 2008, evolving through multiple generations with expanding ADAS integration. Early Q5s (2008–2016) carry straightforward toughened rear glass, whilst later generations introduced more sophisticated features including antenna integration and enhanced thermal control.
From the mid-2010s onwards, newer Q5 variants began incorporating Audi's driver assistance systems, though rear-window ADAS integration remains limited compared to the windscreen. Some higher-specification models feature antenna-equipped rear glass for improved reception, whilst solar-control and acoustic variants appear on select trim levels.
