Replacement costs vary primarily by generation and whether your variant has encapsulated glass. Earlier 1998–2001 models with standard-trim rear windows are typically more affordable; later variants with factory-encapsulated edges require matching that specification at replacement.

Your approved technician checks the parts specification and sources your replacement glass to match the original.
On fitting day, the shattered rear glass is removed and the new panel installed — typically 30–60 minutes of technician time.
Because a shattered rear window leaves glass shards, your fitter will remove what's accessible; we recommend a professional interior valet afterwards to reach places that need deeper cleaning.
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before you leave, and your two-year warranty begins immediately.
Every job comes with a two-year workmanship and glass warranty, backed by our network of local specialists.
Most rear-window replacements on the Xsara are fitted mobile at your address — your fitter brings the tools and glass to you. No ADAS calibration is involved with rear windows, so there's no technical reason to visit a workshop unless you prefer it for convenience or weather protection.

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.
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.
The Citroën Xsara was produced from 1998 to 2005, spanning two distinct generations with different rear-window specifications. Early models featured straightforward toughened rear glass, while later variants introduced green-tinted rear windows as standard.
Most Xsara variants carry a green-tinted rear window, and around half feature encapsulated glass — meaning the rubber trim is factory-bonded to the glass itself. When you book a replacement, the entire panel-plus-trim assembly arrives pre-fitted, so your technician installs the complete unit rather than fitting trim separately.
