Ford Escort rear window price, by year
Pricing varies across the 19 Escort variants based on generation, trim level, and glass complexity. Early unheated rear windows are typically the most affordable; models with integrated heating, brake-light circuits, or antenna patterns carry higher replacement costs due to the additional electrical and manufacturing complexity. Generation also plays a role — later-model Escorts from the 1990s onward tend to have more feature-rich rear glass than earlier examples.

What to expect during your Ford Escort rear window replacement
Booking your Escort rear-window replacement through UKCG is straightforward and typically completes within a couple of hours.
- 1
Use our quick online quote tool to tell us your Escort's year and trim — you'll get an instant quote in under 60 seconds.
- 2
Complete your booking in under two minutes by selecting your preferred appointment time and location (mobile fitting at your address or a workshop visit).
- 3
Our parts team confirms your exact rear-window variant and ensures the replacement glass matches your factory specification — including any heating elements, antenna, or brake-light features.
- 4
A technician from our network arrives at your chosen location with your matched glass. Rear-window fitting typically takes 30–60 minutes of their time, including removal of the shattered original and cleanup of accessible shards.
- 5
A shattered rear window leaves broken glass in hard-to-reach places — under seats, in seatbelts, inside trim. Your fitter removes what they can during the job, but we recommend a professional interior valet afterwards for thorough detailing.
- 6
Your fitter confirms the job is complete and the vehicle is ready to drive. You'll receive a two-year warranty on the replacement and workmanship.
From instant quote to booked appointment to fitted glass, the whole process is designed to be fast and stress-free — backed by our two-year warranty and the expertise of local specialists on our network.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Escort?
Most Escort rear-window replacements can be fitted at your home or workplace as a mobile appointment — we bring the technician and matched glass to you. Because the Escort's rear window is not ADAS-equipped (the model predates modern driver-assistance systems), there is no calibration requirement and no reason to choose a workshop over mobile fitting unless you prefer it for convenience or weather reasons.
Your technician will confirm the fitting location at booking and can discuss whether your chosen location is suitable for the work.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Heated Rear Windscreen10
1980–2001On the Ford Escort: fitted on every one of the 10 rear window variants we list; model years 1980–2001.
Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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 impact
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.

Green5
1980–2000On the Ford Escort: fitted on 5 of the 10 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 1980–2000.
What it means
A subtle greenish tint present in the glass, standard on approximately half of all vehicles and often not noticeable to owners.
On your Ford Escort
Confirmed during the online quote process — your Escort's year and trim will indicate whether green-tinted rear glass is fitted.
Brake Light2
1991–2000On the Ford Escort: fitted on 2 of the 10 rear window variants we list (20%); model years 1991–2000.
What it means
A high-level brake light integrated into the rear window via silkscreen pattern and wiring. The replacement glass must carry the same integrated brake-light pattern so the lighting circuit reconnects cleanly.
On your Ford Escort
Present on select Escort variants and trim levels; confirmed during the quote and parts check.
Antenna1
1980–1990On the Ford Escort: fitted on 1 of the 10 rear window variants we list (10%); model years 1980–1990.
What it means
A radio or DAB aerial laminated into the rear-window glass, replacing a traditional roof-mounted mast. The replacement glass must carry the matching antenna print and connector to restore reception.
On your Ford Escort
Found on higher-specification Escort trims from the 1990s onward; confirmed in your quote.
About the Ford Escort
The Ford Escort is one of the longest-running British production cars, spanning over two decades with multiple generations and body styles — from the original rear-wheel-drive cars through to the later front-wheel-drive platforms. Rear-window specifications vary considerably across this broad timespan, with different generations, trim levels, and options creating distinct replacement requirements.
Earlier Escorts typically carry straightforward toughened rear glass, though some variants feature integrated heating wires or brake-light circuitry. Later models introduce additional features such as integrated radio or DAB antennas laminated into the glass, particularly on higher-specification trims. Each variant's replacement glass must match the exact factory specification — including any heating elements, antenna connectors, or brake-light patterns — so the original functions are restored after fitting.
