Jaguar S-Type rear window price, by year
Pricing varies depending on whether your S-Type carries additional antenna features — some variants include TV reception alongside standard radio, whilst others have mobile telephone aerials built into the heating element. Vehicles with more complex antenna configurations typically carry slightly higher replacement costs due to the precision required when matching the original specification. The heating element design is consistent across all S-Type variants, so the core replacement scope is straightforward once the exact antenna setup is confirmed.

You're matched with an approved fitter in your area who holds the matching rear window and can schedule at a time that suits you.
- 4
On the day, your fitter arrives with the replacement glass, removes the shattered original, clears accessible glass shards, and installs the new window.
- 5
A professional interior valet afterwards is recommended to remove any fine shards that may lodge in places the fitter can't reach during the fit.
- 6
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
The entire process — from booking to completion — is straightforward, and our partner fitters handle all the technical detail around your S-Type's antenna configuration.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your S-Type?
Most Jaguar S-Type rear window replacements are completed mobile at your address — your fitter arrives with the replacement glass and carries the tools needed to remove the shattered original and install the new window. The S-Type does not feature ADAS systems that require camera calibration after glass replacement, so there's no workshop requirement on technical grounds.
Your choice between mobile and workshop is yours — some customers prefer the convenience of their driveway, others choose a workshop for easier access during shard cleanup. Either way, we arrange it as part of your booking.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Antenna1
1999–2007An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Brake Light1
1999–2007A 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.
Green1
1999–2007Green 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.
Heated Rear Windscreen1
1999–2007Heated 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.
Mobile Telephone1
1999–2007Built-in telephone aerial in the rear window for older luxury vehicles with handset systems.
What it means
A mobile telephone system fitted to certain older luxury vehicles consists of an aerial and connector circuit printed or bonded into the rear window glass, paired with a handset mounted inside the cabin (typically between the front seats). The aerial enables radio transmission and reception for the in-car telephone. When the rear window is replaced, the new glass must carry an identical aerial print so the handset's electrical connector mates correctly and the system functions.
How to tell
Check whether your vehicle has a handset unit mounted between the front seats or on the centre console. If present, your rear window will have a fine printed pattern or metallic trace visible on the glass itself (usually near the top edge). Ask your dealer or service centre to confirm whether your model is fitted with a factory mobile telephone system; they can verify this from the vehicle specification.
Replacement impact
The replacement rear window must be an exact OE match with the identical aerial circuit printed into the glass. Aftermarket glass typically does not carry this feature. You will need to source the glass from the vehicle manufacturer or a specialist supplier holding OE stock. Fitting is standard; the handset reconnects once the glass is installed. Cure time applies as with any bonded rear window.
About the Jaguar S-Type
The Jaguar S-Type was in production from 1999 to 2007, representing a modern interpretation of the classic S-Type saloon. All S-Type models feature a rear window integrated with heating elements that serve dual functions — demisting and radio/antenna reception.
These antennas are built into the heating grid itself, so any damage to the heated element pattern affects both demisting and reception quality. When replacement is needed, the entire rear window must be sourced with the correct antenna configuration to restore both functions.
The S-Type's rear window is typically toughened glass, which means it shatters into small fragments on impact — a major consideration when planning replacement, as shard cleanup is a significant part of the job.
