Pricing varies primarily based on whether your XE is equipped with the integrated antenna element and encapsulated trim — both common across the model's production run. Earlier models (2014–2018) and later post-facelift variants (2019 onwards) may have minor differences in antenna configuration, which the parts-check team confirms during your booking.

Rear window replacement typically follows a straightforward path from quote to collection.

Once booked, our parts-check team verifies the exact variant and antenna configuration needed for your vehicle.
You'll be matched with a specialist near you — mobile fitting at your address is the default, though workshop options are available.
On the day, your fitter removes the shattered rear window and installs the replacement glass with its pre-fitted gasket. A shattered window means shard cleanup is a significant part of the job — your fitter will remove what's accessible, but small shards can lodge in places that need deeper detailing afterwards.
We recommend a professional valet or interior clean once the fit is complete to catch any shards that settled during the job.
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality — your fitter confirms the details on the day.
From booking to collection, most rear-window jobs complete within a couple of hours — times vary depending on your location and the fitter's schedule.
Most Jaguar XE rear-window replacements can be fitted at your address via mobile technician, since the rear window doesn't carry an ADAS camera or calibration requirement. Your specialist works from a mobile van, removes the shattered glass, and installs the replacement with its pre-bonded gasket.
Workshop visits are available if you prefer — useful if weather conditions are poor or you'd rather have the work done in a controlled environment. The choice is yours at booking.

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.
Dark grey tint on rear windows provides privacy and reduces interior heat and glare.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Jaguar XE has been in continuous production since 2014, evolving through a single platform generation with a significant facelift around 2019. The rear window on all XE variants features an integrated antenna element woven into the heated rear-window grid, supporting radio, DAB, and TV reception.
When the rear window is damaged, the heating elements and antenna function are compromised together — replacement restores both demisting and reception in one job. The rear window typically carries a privacy tint slightly darker than the windscreen, and arrives encapsulated with its rubber gasket bonded to the glass at the factory, so your replacement comes trim-ready.
