Pricing for Magentis rear-window replacement is fairly consistent across the single variant in our catalogue, as the model predates the complex ADAS and acoustic-glass options that drive variation on newer Kias. The main cost factors are the heating element and integrated antenna that must be replicated in the replacement glass.

Booking a rear-window replacement is quick and straightforward — here's how the process unfolds.
Start with an instant quote using our online widget, which takes about a minute to identify your exact Magentis variant and confirm its rear-window specification.
Complete your booking in under two minutes; you'll be matched with an approved fitter in your area who can arrange a convenient time.
Before the work begins, the fitter performs a parts check to confirm the replacement glass matches your factory specification, including the heating element and antenna.
On the day of fitting, the fitter typically spends 30–60 minutes removing the shattered rear window and installing the replacement. Shard cleanup is part of the job, though we recommend a professional valet afterwards for thorough interior detailing, as small glass fragments can lodge in places that aren't easily accessible during the fit.
Your fitter will confirm the minimum drive-away time before leaving — this depends on the adhesive used and ambient conditions.
You're covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality from the date of replacement.
The entire process — from quote to booked appointment — takes just a few minutes, and our network of approved fitters will handle the rest.
Most rear-window replacements on the Magentis are fitted mobile at your home or workplace, as this generation has no ADAS camera systems to calibrate. Your fitter will confirm the most convenient location during booking. Workshop fitting is available if preferred, but is not required for this model.

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.
A brake light integrated into the rear window glass itself, requiring a matching replacement to reconnect the original lighting circuit.
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.
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.
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 tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
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.
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.
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 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 Kia Magentis was produced between 2006 and 2009 as a mid-size saloon, offering a practical family vehicle with straightforward glazing.
Rear windows on this generation feature a green tint as standard, along with integrated heating and an antenna element laminated into the glass for radio reception. When replacing the rear window, the replacement must match these factory specifications — the antenna configuration and heating circuits must be preserved so the vehicle's electrical systems reconnect cleanly.
As this model pre-dates ADAS systems, there is no camera calibration involved in rear-window replacement, keeping the job straightforward.
