The Hyundai Santa Fe has been in continuous production since 2001, evolving through multiple generations as Hyundai's mid-to-large SUV flagship. Early models featured straightforward toughened rear glass, while later generations introduced subtle green tinting as standard across most variants.
From the mid-2010s onwards, higher-spec Santa Fe models began incorporating SmartSense driver-assistance features, which rely on a front-mounted camera system for functions including lane-keeping and forward collision avoidance. When a windscreen replacement is needed on a SmartSense-equipped Santa Fe, the camera requires recalibration using Hyundai diagnostic equipment.
Rear-window replacement on any Santa Fe generation is typically straightforward, though the shattered glass does mean cleanup is part of the job. Some variants feature an open rear quarter pane (a hinged vent) — UKCG's quote covers the opening pane with its hinge hardware where supplied with the glass.
