Pricing varies based on whether your Nubira's rear window includes a heated defroster element, antenna print, or integrated brake light. Variants with these added features typically cost more to source and fit than basic tinted glass. Generation differences also play a role — earlier 1998–2004 models may have different supply costs than later 2005–2011 variants.

Booking a rear-window replacement with us is straightforward — a quick quote, technician match, and fitting at a time that suits you.
Take our online quote: answer a few questions about your Nubira's year and trim to identify the exact variant you need. This takes about a minute.
We match you with an approved fitter in your area — someone experienced with your vehicle type and ready to schedule a convenient time.
A parts check happens after booking: our team confirms the exact glass specification (tint, defroster, antenna print, or brake light) before the fitter collects it.
On the fitting day, your technician removes the shattered rear window and fits the replacement glass. Shard cleanup is part of the job, though small fragments can lodge in places fitters can't easily reach — we recommend a professional interior valet afterwards for thorough detailing.
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before finishing, and your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
The whole process is designed to be hassle-free — booked online, fitted locally, and backed by our network of trusted specialists.
Most Nubira rear-window replacements are fitted mobile at your address — our fitters can complete the job in your driveway or car park. Because the Nubira predates factory ADAS systems, there's no calibration required, so mobile fitting is straightforward. You can choose a workshop visit if you prefer, but it's not mandatory for this model.

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.
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 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 Nubira was produced from 1998 to 2011 as a compact family saloon, with several generational updates spanning the platform's lifespan. Across this period, the rear window remained a toughened-glass component, designed to shatter safely in impact rather than splinter like laminated glass.
Most Nubira variants carry a green-tinted rear window — a subtle tint that's often hard to notice but important to match during replacement. Some models, particularly those sold in colder climates, include a heated rear defroster element integrated into the glass, and a few variants feature an antenna print laminated into the rear window to support radio reception.
The Daewoo brand predates the era of factory-fitted front-camera ADAS systems, so rear-window replacement on the Nubira is straightforward glass-for-glass fitting with no calibration required.
