Mazda CX-5 rear window price, by year
Rear-window pricing varies primarily with generation and the presence of heating or antenna elements. Earlier CX-5 models (2012–2016) with integrated antenna and heated glass carry more complexity than later generations without these features. Specialist sourcing and fitment time differ accordingly.

What to expect during your Mazda CX-5 rear window replacement
Rear-window replacement is a straightforward job from booking to fitting.
- 1
Start with a quick online quote via our widget — under 60 seconds to identify your exact variant and get a ballpark estimate.
- 2
After checkout, our parts team reviews your vehicle's specification to confirm the correct glass (including any heating or antenna elements).
- 3
You'll be matched with a local approved fitter who stocks the right glass and can fit it at your address (mobile) or at a workshop, whichever suits you.
- 4
On fitting day, expect the job to take typically 30–60 minutes of the fitter's time, depending on the condition of the original glass and shard cleanup. Your fitter will confirm drive-away time before leaving.
- 5
After you leave, a professional interior valet is recommended to remove any glass fragments that may be lodged in hard-to-reach spots like under seats or in trim channels.
- 6
Your replacement glass comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Book through UK Car Glass and rely on our network of trusted local fitters to handle the job with a two-year warranty backing every replacement.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your CX-5?
Most CX-5 rear-window replacements can be carried out mobile at your home or workplace — the fitter arrives with the glass and completes the job on site. Workshop visits are typically chosen when weather is poor or if you prefer the controlled environment. Because the CX-5's ADAS safety features (lane departure warning, collision mitigation) rely on front windscreen cameras rather than rear sensors, rear-window replacement does not require calibration work that would demand a workshop.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Heated Rear Windscreen4
2012–2026On the Mazda CX-5: fitted on every one of the 4 rear window variants we list; model years 2012–2026.
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.
Grey Privacy3
2012–2026On the Mazda CX-5: fitted on 3 of the 4 rear window variants we list (75%); model years 2012–2026.
Dark grey tint on rear windows provides privacy and reduces interior heat and glare.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Antenna2
2012–2026On the Mazda CX-5: fitted on 2 of the 4 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2012–2026.
What it means
An aerial is laminated into the rear glass itself — typically for AM/FM radio reception — replacing a traditional roof-mounted mast. Replacement glass must carry the matching antenna print and connector so your radio function is restored on fitting.
On your Mazda CX-5
Present on earlier CX-5 generations (2013–2016 particularly); confirmed during the quote and parts check.
Green1
2017–2026On the Mazda CX-5: fitted on 1 of the 4 rear window variants we list (25%); model years 2017–2026.
What it means
A light green tint in the glass (often hard to see at first glance) helps reduce solar heat gain.
On your Mazda CX-5
Found on select higher-trim variants; confirmed during the parts check after booking.
Solar Control1
2017–2026On the Mazda CX-5: fitted on 1 of the 4 rear window variants we list (25%); model years 2017–2026.
Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
What it means
Solar control is a coating applied to the windscreen that absorbs the sun's infrared radiation rather than allowing it to pass through into the cabin. This reduces solar heat gain, helping to keep the interior cooler and more comfortable, particularly in warm weather or direct sunlight. The coating is transparent to visible light, so it doesn't darken the windscreen or affect visibility. It's a passive thermal management feature that works continuously whenever the sun is shining on the glass.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or contact your dealership service centre to confirm whether solar control glass is fitted. Some manufacturers list it as 'solar control windscreen', 'heat-reflective glass', or 'thermal management glass'. It's a factory-fitted feature and won't be visibly obvious from outside the car — the coating is integral to the glass itself.
Replacement impact
Solar control glass is a factory-fitted specification. When replacing the windscreen, a solar control variant must be sourced to match the original. This is a standard glass type with no special fitting implications or calibration requirements. Cure and drive-away times follow normal windscreen bonding procedures. Confirm with your fitter that the replacement glass includes solar control to maintain the original thermal performance.
About the Mazda CX-5
The Mazda CX-5 has been in continuous production since 2012, evolving through three generations with increasingly sophisticated rear glass. Early models (2012–2016) commonly feature tinted rear windows and antenna integration, whilst later variants bring additional comfort and safety features.
Rear-window replacement on the CX-5 is straightforward because the glass is not bonded to the vehicle's structural integrity in the way a windscreen is. Shards from the shattered original glass are part of the job — your fitter will clear what's accessibly reachable, but a professional interior valet afterwards is recommended to catch glass that may lodge under seats or in trim channels.
Since Mazda's i-ACTIVSENSE suite relies on front-facing windscreen cameras rather than rear sensors, rear-window replacement does not trigger ADAS calibration work.
