The Kia Shuma was produced from 1998 to 2003 as a compact saloon, representing Kia's entry into the European market during a formative period for the brand. Glass specifications across this generation reflect early-2000s manufacturing standards, with straightforward laminated windscreens and toughened rear windows typical of the era.
Rear window replacement on the Shuma is a straightforward job — no ADAS systems or camera brackets were integrated into glass during this period. The rear glass arrives shattered; shard cleanup is a significant part of the replacement work, and small fragments can lodge in places the fitter can't always reach on the day.
