Jaguar XJ12 rear window price, by year
Pricing varies primarily by the antenna configuration built into the heating elements — different model years and specification levels carried different FM, TV, and DAB setups. Vehicles with integrated television antenna reception tend to carry slightly higher replacement costs due to the complexity of the heating-element circuit. Your quote will reflect the exact specification of your XJ12.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your XJ12?
Most XJ12 rear window replacements can be carried out at your home or preferred location as a mobile service. The specialist will remove and dispose of the shattered glass safely, test the heating elements, and confirm the antenna reception is working.
If your location poses access challenges (e.g. a narrow drive or tight parking), your fitter may suggest a workshop visit — this will be discussed when booking.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.
What features does your XJ12 have?

Brake Light1
1972–1992On the Jaguar XJ12: fitted on every one of the 1 rear window variant we list; model years 1972–1992.
What it means
A high-level brake light integrated into the rear window silkscreen and wiring — the replacement glass must carry the same pattern so the original circuit reconnects cleanly.
On your Jaguar XJ12
All XJ12 variants from 1972–1992 feature this integrated brake light; it's confirmed during the parts check.
Green1
1972–1992On the Jaguar XJ12: fitted on every one of the 1 rear window variant we list; model years 1972–1992.
What it means
A subtle green tint present in the glass itself — nearly invisible in most light but present for UV control and interior privacy.
On your Jaguar XJ12
Standard across all XJ12 rear windows; the tint is difficult to spot visually but will be matched in your replacement glass.
Heated Rear Windscreen1
1972–1992On the Jaguar XJ12: fitted on every one of the 1 rear window variant we list; model years 1972–1992.
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.
About the Jaguar XJ12
The Jaguar XJ12 was in continuous production from 1972 to 1992, establishing itself as one of the British luxury saloon's most powerful iterations. Rear windows across this 20-year span are toughened glass with integrated heating elements that serve dual functions — demisting and antenna reception for radio, television, and digital audio broadcast.
These heated elements are critical infrastructure: if the heating grid is damaged, the entire rear window must be replaced to restore both demisting capability and RF reception. When ordering a replacement, the specific antenna configuration is confirmed to match your vehicle's original specification.
