• Heated Rear Windscreen2

  2005–2022

  On the Citroen C1: fitted on every one of the 2 rear window variants we list; model years 2005–2022.

  Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.

  What it means

  A heated rear windscreen contains fine heating wires embedded within the glass. When you activate the rear demister, an electrical current passes through these wires, warming the glass and melting ice or condensation. This feature is particularly useful in cold or damp weather, improving rear visibility quickly. The heating grid is integral to the glass and connected to your vehicle's electrical circuit via connectors at the base of the windscreen.

  How to tell

  Look at the rear windscreen from inside the vehicle — you will see a fine grid of horizontal lines across the glass, typically bronze or copper in colour. On the dashboard or steering wheel stalk, there will be a dedicated rear-demist button, usually marked with a windscreen symbol and heating lines. If in doubt, ask your vehicle's service centre or consult your handbook.

  Replacement impact

  Replacement rear windscreens with heated grids are widely available as original-equipment aftermarket or dealership parts. The new glass must include the factory heating grid and electrical connectors intact. The technician will reconnect the heating circuit to your vehicle's rear-demist switch. Heated rear windscreens are bonded glass, so adhesive cure time applies; drive-away time will be confirmed by the fitter on the day.

• Open2

  2005–2022

  On the Citroen C1: fitted on every one of the 2 rear window variants we list; model years 2005–2022.

  What it means

  A hinged rear vent panel that opens for ventilation — your replacement includes matching hinge hardware.

  On your Citroen C1

  Opening rear quarters are common on urban-focused C1 trims; confirmed during the quote process.

• Green1

  2005–2014

  On the Citroen C1: fitted on 1 of the 2 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2005–2014.

  What it means

  A light green tint found on most modern car glass — virtually invisible but reduces heat and glare inside the cabin.

  On your Citroen C1

  Standard on most C1 variants from the mid-2010s onwards; your quote will identify whether your model carries green glass.

• Grey Privacy1

  2014–2022

  On the Citroen C1: fitted on 1 of the 2 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2014–2022.

  Dark 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.

• Solar Control1

  2005–2014

  On the Citroen C1: fitted on 1 of the 2 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2005–2014.

  What it means

  A special coating that absorbs the sun's infrared rays, helping keep the cabin cooler on hot days.

  On your Citroen C1

  Increasingly common on higher-spec and newer C1 models; your specialist confirms whether your variant uses this feature.
