Replacement costs vary across C4 generations and trim levels, primarily driven by the heated rear element, any integrated antenna function, and whether your variant includes brake-light integration or encapsulation (a pre-fitted rubber gasket moulded to the glass edge).
Older models without these extras tend to be more straightforward; later variants with multiple integrated features carry higher replacement costs due to the complexity of sourcing matched glass.

You'll be matched with an approved fitter in your area who sources your replacement glass and schedules a fitting time that suits you.
On fitting day, your fitter typically needs 30–60 minutes to remove the shattered glass, clean out accessible shards, and fit your new rear window.
Once fitted, your fitter will confirm the drive-away time (usually same day) and cover your new window with a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
Your C4 is back on the road with a replacement rear window that matches your factory specification.
Most C4 rear-window replacements are carried out as a mobile visit to your home or workplace — your fitter brings the glass and tools to you. The rear window itself does not carry ADAS camera systems, so calibration is not a factor.
Your approved fitter will decide whether mobile or workshop is best based on your location, weather, and vehicle access — but the standard approach is mobile convenience.

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.
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.
A brake light integrated into the rear window glass itself, requiring a matching replacement to reconnect the original lighting circuit.
A brake light integrated into the rear window glass is a lighting element built directly into the glass panel during manufacturing. Rather than using a separate lamp cluster mounted to the vehicle body, the light circuit is routed through conductive elements — typically a silkscreen pattern, wire network, or bracket assembly — embedded in or bonded to the glass itself. When you brake, this integrated light illuminates to warn following traffic. It combines functionality with design integration, reducing the number of separate components on the rear of the vehicle.
Check your vehicle's rear window for a visible pattern of fine lines or wires running across the glass, usually near the top edge or spanning the upper portion. Look at your vehicle's manual or contact your dealer's service centre — they can confirm whether your rear window carries an integrated brake light. If you see a separate brake-light cluster mounted to the bodywork instead, your vehicle does not have this feature.
The replacement rear window must carry the identical integrated brake-light pattern so the original lighting circuit reconnects without modification. The conductive elements — whether silkscreen, wiring, or bracket fittings — must align precisely with the vehicle's electrical connections. Using a standard rear window without this pattern would disable the brake light. We source the correct OE-specification glass to ensure a seamless fit and restore full functionality.
An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.
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.
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.
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.
A glass variant made specifically for right-hand-drive vehicles like UK cars, with brackets and sensors positioned for the driver's side.
Right-hand-drive glass is a windscreen (or other glass panel) manufactured to the correct specification for vehicles where the steering wheel and driver controls are on the right side of the car. The key difference isn't the glass itself but the position of brackets, sensor mounting pads, and sometimes a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) notch. These are placed on the dashboard side to align with right-hand-drive vehicle architecture. Using the correct variant ensures all safety systems, mounting points, and sensor arrays sit in the right place when the glass is fitted.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or service handbook — it will confirm 'RHD' (right-hand drive). Ask your dealership or service centre which windscreen variant they stock for your model. If you're unsure, provide us with your registration number when you book; we'll identify the correct part.
UKCG stocks the UK-specific right-hand-drive variant, so all brackets, sensors, and mounting points align correctly during fitting. Using a left-hand-drive part on a right-hand-drive vehicle would result in misalignment of camera brackets, rain sensors, or other dashboard-mounted components. We confirm you receive the correct RHD variant before dispatch.
Factory-bonded rubber or polymer trim means your replacement glass arrives ready to fit as one complete unit.
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.
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.
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.
Factory-fitted brackets and mounts bonded to the glass, pre-assembled and ready to fit without sub-assembly.
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.
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 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.
Privacy glass is a darker tint applied to rear and side windows for passenger comfort and security.
Privacy glass is a factory-applied dark tint coating on the rear window and side windows (or a selection of them) to reduce visibility into the vehicle's interior. It serves two purposes: it helps protect passengers and cargo from the sun, and it provides visual security by obscuring the view of occupants and valuables from outside. The tint is integral to the glass itself — either applied during manufacture or as a permanent coating — and is not the same as an aftermarket film.
Look at the rear window and rear side windows from outside the vehicle. If they appear noticeably darker than the windscreen and front side windows, the car has privacy glass. Check your vehicle documentation (handbook or service history) under 'glass specifications' or 'optional equipment', or ask your dealership service centre — they can confirm which windows have the tint applied.
Privacy glass must be replaced with OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass of the same tint specification. Aftermarket alternatives are available but may not match the original colour or darkness exactly. The replacement is a straightforward swap with no calibration implications. Availability is standard for mainstream models; lead time may be slightly longer for less common variants or older vehicles.
The Citroën C4 has evolved through multiple generations since 2004, with rear-window specifications varying by year and trim.
Most C4 models feature a heated rear demist element — a practical feature for UK winters that also doubles as an AM/FM antenna on some variants. The glass itself is typically toughened, which means it shatters into small pieces on impact rather than splintering dangerously.
From the late 2010s onwards, some C4 variants began carrying forward-facing camera systems for driver assistance features like adaptive cruise and lane-keeping support, which affects windscreen specification but does not directly impact rear-window replacement.
