Pricing varies based on whether your Matiz rear window includes the integrated brake-light component — variants with this feature require a more specialised glass replacement to ensure the electrical circuit matches. Earlier models and those without brake-light integration are generally more affordable to replace. Glass sourced by the specialist you're matched with is matched to your factory specification and UK-approved for the road.

Rear-window replacement typically follows a straightforward process from quote through to completion.
Get an instant quote via our online widget by selecting your year and variant — takes under a minute.
Our parts team confirms the exact glass specification (including any brake-light pattern) during the booking confirmation.
You're matched with a local approved fitter who schedules a convenient appointment.
On fitting day, the fitter removes the shattered rear glass and clears accessible shards — a major part of the job. Small shards can lodge in places fitters can't always reach on the day, so we recommend a professional interior valet afterwards for thorough detailing.
The new glass is bonded in place using polyurethane adhesive, and your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before they leave.
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
The whole job typically completes within a couple of hours; your fitter will confirm the exact timeline on the day.
Rear-window replacement on the Matiz is typically a mobile appointment at your address — no workshop visit needed unless you prefer it. Because the Matiz predates ADAS camera systems, there is no calibration requirement after fitting, keeping the job straightforward and mobile-friendly.

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.
Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
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.
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 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.
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.
The Daewoo Matiz was produced from 1998 to 2015, making it one of the longest-running city cars in its class. Across its lifespan, the Matiz remained a straightforward, practical design with minimal electronic complexity.
Rear windows on the Matiz are typically toughened glass, a standard specification across the production run. Most variants carry a subtle green tint — a near-invisible factory tint present on roughly 90% of automotive glass. Around two-thirds of Matiz models feature an integrated high-level brake light fitted into the rear window, requiring the replacement glass to match the original silkscreen pattern so the lighting circuit reconnects properly.
As a Daewoo brand vehicle predating widespread ADAS adoption, the Matiz does not carry factory front-camera systems, so rear-window replacement does not involve calibration complexity.
