Rear window pricing varies mainly with generation and tint/coating specification. Earlier C3 models with standard clear or lightly-tinted rear glass are typically the most affordable, while variants with solar-control or darker privacy tinting carry slightly higher costs. Glass availability and sourcing complexity can also influence pricing across the different production years in our catalogue.

Our parts-check team confirms your exact C3 variant and the correct rear glass specification.
We match you with an approved technician in your area and confirm a fitting appointment (mobile at your address or workshop, your choice).
On the day, your fitter removes the shattered glass, cleans accessible shards, and bonds the replacement — typically 30–60 minutes of work. Shattered glass can lodge in places that need deeper access, so we recommend a professional valet afterwards for thorough detailing.
You'll receive a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality. Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before you leave.
Start your quote now and see fitted prices for your C3 variant.
Most C3 rear window replacements can be done mobile at your address — there is no ADAS calibration or camera work required for the rear position. You can choose a workshop appointment if you prefer, but it's not mandatory. Mobile fitting is typically quicker and more convenient, and your fitter will confirm the drive-away time before leaving your address.

Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
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.
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.
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 control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
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.
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.
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.
Dark green tint on rear and side windows is a factory colour choice, not a safety or performance feature.
Dark green is a factory tint applied to the glass during manufacture. It's purely aesthetic — a colour variant chosen by the vehicle designer to complement the body paint and interior trim. Unlike some tints that reduce solar heat or glare, dark green is decorative. Most vehicles have standard or light green glass; dark green is less common and typically found on specific trim levels or model years.
Look at your rear and side windows from outside the car in daylight. If they appear noticeably darker or more saturated green than the front windscreen, you likely have dark green glass. You can also check your vehicle's specification sheet from the dealer or original documentation — tint colour is sometimes listed under 'glass' or 'exterior finishes'. If uncertain, ask your local dealership service centre.
Dark green replacement glass must match the original tint colour exactly — a standard or light green windscreen will look visibly mismatched against dark green rear windows. Sourcing the correct variant can take slightly longer than standard glass, as it's less common. No calibration is involved with tinted glass itself. Fitting and cure time are unaffected.
Dark grey tint on rear windows provides privacy and reduces interior heat and glare.
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.
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.
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.
The Citroën C3 has been in continuous production since 2002, evolving through multiple generations with consistent design language and practical engineering. Rear windows on C3 models are toughened glass — shatter-resistant but prone to complete breakage from impact or stress.
Most C3 variants carry a subtle green tint to the rear window, while half feature solar-control coating that absorbs infrared rays to reduce cabin heat. A smaller proportion of models have darker green or grey rear glass, typically paired with privacy trim packages or higher specification levels.
From the late 2010s onwards, front-facing ADAS systems became more common on Citroën models, though these are windscreen-mounted and do not affect rear window replacement. Rear-window jobs are straightforward fits without calibration requirements.
