Booking your rear-window replacement is straightforward and takes about two minutes online.
- 1
Answer a short quiz about your Galaxy (year, trim, and features) to identify your exact variant.
- 2
Receive an instant quote matched to your specification.
- 3
Complete your booking and choose your preferred fitting date and location (mobile or workshop).
- 4
Your local technician will contact you to confirm the appointment and answer any questions.
- 5
On fitting day, your technician removes the shattered glass, clears accessible shards, and bonds your new rear window — typically taking 30–60 minutes of their time.
- 6
After the job, we recommend a professional interior valet to ensure thorough shard cleanup in areas the technician cannot easily reach.
All replacements come with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality, giving you peace of mind.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Galaxy?
Most Galaxy rear-window replacements are completed mobile at your home or workplace — your technician brings everything needed to remove the shattered glass and fit the replacement safely. A workshop visit is rarely required for rear-window jobs because there is no ADAS calibration involved (unlike windscreen replacements).
Your technician will confirm the best location during booking based on access and weather conditions. Either way, shard cleanup is part of the job, though a professional interior valet afterwards is recommended to reach shards that lodge in less-accessible areas.

Heated Rear Windscreen7
1995–2023Heated 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.
Green4
1995–2014Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Grey Privacy2
2006–2023Dark grey tint on rear windows provides privacy and reduces interior heat and glare.
What it means
Dark grey tint, formally known as privacy glass, is a factory-applied tint created through a deep-dipping process during glass manufacture. The pigment is infused into the inner surface of the glass, darkening the rear windows (and sometimes rear doors) significantly more than the front. This reduces heat transmission, minimises glare, and obscures the interior from outside view. It's standard on the rear half of many modern vehicles.
How to tell
Compare the rear side windows and rear window (backlight) to the front side windows — the rear glass will be noticeably darker. Check your vehicle documents or ask your dealership service centre if you're unsure whether your car left the factory with privacy glass.
Replacement impact
Dark grey tinted glass must be sourced from the Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) or dealership to ensure colour and transmission match your vehicle's existing rear glass. The tint is integral to the glass itself, not a surface coating, so aftermarket non-tinted glass will look visibly mismatched. Replacement does not require any calibration and follows standard bonded-glass cure times for rear windows.
Brake Light1
1995–2000A brake light integrated into the rear window glass itself, requiring a matching replacement to reconnect the original lighting circuit.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Green Privacy1
2000–2006Dark green tint on rear and side windows is a factory colour choice, not a safety or performance feature.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Solar Control1
2006–2014Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Vehicle Emergency Messaging1
2006–2014Emergency messaging systems alert the emergency services immediately after a serious crash, reducing response time.
What it means
An emergency messaging system (sometimes called a 'Mayday' system) is an in-vehicle safety feature that automatically detects a serious collision and transmits emergency location data to the relevant emergency services. When a major impact is detected, the system sends the vehicle's precise GPS coordinates and other crash details to emergency responders, reducing the critical time between the accident and the arrival of medical assistance. This technology is designed to save lives by ensuring rapid response, particularly in situations where the occupants may be unconscious or unable to make a call themselves.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's user manual or infotainment system for emergency call or 'eCall' settings. Many vehicles display an emergency services icon in the dashboard menu or settings. You can also ask your dealership or service centre directly whether your model includes this feature — they'll confirm it's present and explain how to register or activate it if needed.
Replacement impact
Emergency messaging systems typically involve a control module or sensors in the vehicle structure, but do not require calibration or special handling during windscreen replacement. The system remains fully functional after glass replacement. No cure-time implications or OE-only glass sourcing is triggered by this feature. Standard replacement procedures apply.
About the Ford Galaxy
The Ford Galaxy has been a family MPV staple since 1995, evolving through multiple generations with increasingly sophisticated rear-window glass options. Earlier models featured straightforward toughened rear glass, whilst later generations from the 2010s onwards introduced heated variants, privacy tinting options, and integrated hardware for enhanced safety and comfort.
From around 2015 onwards, some Galaxy variants began carrying fitted hardware or encapsulated trim as factory standards, meaning the replacement glass arrives ready to bond as a complete unit. Newer models may also feature Vehicle Emergency Messaging integration, adding a communication layer to the rear panel.
