Mercedes E Class rear window price, by year
Price variation across E-Class rear-window variants depends mainly on generation, the presence of heating elements, and whether the glass carries integrated antenna or alarm-wire circuits. Older models without these features are typically the most affordable; later generations with multiple integrated functions carry higher replacement costs due to more complex parts sourcing and fitment requirements.

What to expect during your Mercedes E Class rear window replacement
Booking your E-Class rear-window replacement through UK Car Glass is a straightforward process guided by our online quote system and partner network.
- 1
Complete a brief online quiz about your E-Class year and trim — we identify your exact rear-window variant in under 60 seconds.
- 2
Receive an instant quote and book your preferred date and location (mobile at your address or at a local workshop).
- 3
Our parts-check team confirms the correct replacement glass matches your factory specification — including any heating, antenna, or alarm-wire features.
- 4
A specialist from our network arrives at your chosen location, removes the shattered rear window, and fits the replacement. Shards will be cleared from accessible areas; we recommend a professional valet afterwards for thorough interior cleaning.
- 5
Your fitter confirms the glass is set and secure before leaving. Your new rear window is covered by our two-year warranty against workmanship and manufacturing defects.
From quote to fitting, the entire process is designed to be quick and hassle-free — your E-Class back on the road with a factory-specification rear window.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your E Class?
Most Mercedes E-Class rear-window replacements are carried out mobile at your address — our specialists can fit the replacement and handle any heating or antenna reconnection on site. Workshop fitting is typically chosen for convenience or during poor weather, not because of the rear-window position itself.
Unlike windscreen jobs, rear-window replacement doesn't involve ADAS calibration, so there's no technical reason to book a workshop. Choose whichever suits you best at checkout.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Heated Rear Windscreen9
1983–2016On the Mercedes E Class: fitted on 9 of the 10 rear window variants we list (90%); model years 1983–2016.
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.
Green8
1983–2026On the Mercedes E Class: fitted on 8 of the 10 rear window variants we list (80%); model years 1983–2026.
What it means
A subtle green tint present in the glass, hard to see unless you look carefully — standard on most E-Class variants to reduce glare and cabin heat.
On your Mercedes E Class
Green tinting is typically factory-standard across the E-Class range; confirmed during your online quote.
Brake Light5
1995–2026On the Mercedes E Class: fitted on 5 of the 10 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 1995–2026.
A brake light integrated into the rear window glass itself, requiring a matching replacement to reconnect the original lighting circuit.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Antenna4
1995–2016On the Mercedes E Class: fitted on 4 of the 10 rear window variants we list (40%); model years 1995–2016.
What it means
An aerial laminated into the rear window for radio or DAB reception, replacing a traditional roof-mounted antenna. The replacement glass must carry the matching antenna print so reception is restored.
On your Mercedes E Class
Antenna integration is found on many E-Class variants, particularly from the mid-2010s onwards; confirmed at the parts-check stage.
Solar Control4
1996–2016On the Mercedes E Class: fitted on 4 of the 10 rear window variants we list (40%); model years 1996–2016.
What it means
A special infrared-absorbing coating in the glass that blocks the sun's heat, keeping the cabin cooler without reducing visibility.
On your Mercedes E Class
Solar-control rear windows are common on higher-trim and more recent E-Class models; your quote will identify whether your variant includes it.
TV Antenna4
1995–2026On the Mercedes E Class: fitted on 4 of the 10 rear window variants we list (40%); model years 1995–2026.
A TV-reception aerial printed into the rear window, typically for in-car entertainment systems.
What it means
A TV antenna is an aerial pattern laminated into the rear windscreen or rear side window to receive broadcast television signals. It's a separate system from the vehicle's radio or mobile antenna and is typically found in vehicles equipped with rear-seat entertainment systems. The antenna is printed directly onto or into the glass during manufacture, so when the glass is replaced, the antenna pattern must be reproduced on the replacement to maintain reception quality.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook for rear-seat entertainment or TV tuner capability. If your car has a rear-seat entertainment system with a TV tuner, the rear window will have a TV antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre to confirm whether your vehicle has this feature.
Replacement impact
When the rear window is replaced, the replacement glass must include the matching TV antenna print to preserve reception. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass is typically required to ensure the antenna pattern is identical. The antenna is passive and requires no calibration or specialist procedures after fitting. Cure time for bonded rear glass is required; the fitter will confirm the drive-away time on the day.
Blue2
1996–2009On the Mercedes E Class: fitted on 2 of the 10 rear window variants we list (20%); model years 1996–2009.
Blue-tinted windscreens reduce glare and heat while maintaining a subtle, modern appearance.
What it means
A blue tint is a light coloration applied to the windscreen glass, usually during manufacture. It reduces solar heat transmission and glare from sunlight, particularly on bright days or when driving into the sun. The tint is integral to the glass itself — not a separate film — and is chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance comfort, visibility, and aesthetic consistency with the vehicle's side windows and rear window. Most vehicles come with a green or blue tint as standard; the choice depends on the manufacturer's design and regional climate considerations.
How to tell
Check your side windows by rolling one halfway down and holding a white piece of paper behind the glass. If you see a blue tint reflected in the glass, your windscreen will have the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen tint specification. The tint is visible when comparing the windscreen to clear glass, though it may be subtle and harder to spot on overcast days.
Replacement impact
Blue-tinted replacement windscreens must match the original tint to maintain visual consistency with your side and rear windows. Most replacement glass is available in the correct tint through OE (original equipment) suppliers. There is no calibration requirement related to tint. The tint does not affect fitting time, cure time, or drive-away schedules. Ensure the replacement windscreen is specified with the blue tint to avoid a mismatched appearance.
Laminated1
1987–1996On the Mercedes E Class: fitted on 1 of the 10 rear window variants we list (10%); model years 1987–1996.
What it means
A reinforced glass type with an internal interlayer that prevents shattering — the glass will crack rather than break into sharp pieces. Laminated rear glass is a rare premium option on some E-Class estates.
On your Mercedes E Class
Laminated rear windows are not standard across the E-Class range but are occasionally fitted to higher-specification or estate variants; confirmed during the quote process.
About the Mercedes E Class
The Mercedes E-Class has been in continuous production since 1983, evolving through multiple generations and establishing itself as a benchmark for mid-to-upper luxury saloons and estates. Rear windows across the range are typically toughened glass, with many variants featuring green-tinted or solar-control options to reduce cabin heat and glare.
From the early 2010s onwards, many E-Class models added integrated heating elements, antenna prints for radio reception, and specialised alarm-wire circuits — all of which must be matched when the rear window is replaced. Later generations occasionally featured laminated or acoustic rear glass as a premium option, particularly on estate models.
Mercedes rear-window replacement is straightforward in most cases, though the presence of heating elements, antenna connectivity, or alarm wiring means the replacement must carry the exact same factory specification to restore full function.
