Mercedes GLK rear window price, by year
Pricing varies depending on which generation your GLK belongs to and whether your rear window includes integrated features such as antenna or brake-light circuitry. Models with these integrated functions typically cost more to replace because the glass must match the exact specification and connector layout.

What to expect during your Mercedes GLK rear window replacement
Booking your GLK rear window replacement through UK Car Glass is straightforward and transparent.
- 1
Complete a quick online quote using our guided widget — takes around a minute.
- 2
Our parts team confirms the exact rear window variant for your GLK and its integrated features (antenna, brake light, heating).
- 3
You're matched with an approved fitter in your area who sources the correct replacement glass.
- 4
Your fitter attends at a time that suits you — typically mobile, at your home or workplace.
- 5
The old rear window is removed, shards are cleared from accessible areas, and the new glass is bonded and sealed. Shard cleanup is part of the job, though you may want a professional valet afterwards for thorough interior detailing, as small fragments can lodge in places fitters can't always reach on the day.
- 6
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time and provides aftercare guidance — the adhesive bond strengthens over the following hours.
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your GLK?
Most GLK rear window replacements can be done mobile at your home or workplace. Your fitter will confirm the location and timing when you book.
Since the GLK did not feature windscreen-mounted camera systems during its 2008–2015 production run, no ADAS calibration is required. This keeps the job straightforward and mobile-friendly.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Antenna2
2008–2015An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Brake Light2
2008–2015A 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.
Heated Rear Windscreen2
2008–2015Heated 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.
Green1
2008–2015Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Grey Privacy1
2008–2015Dark 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.
About the Mercedes GLK
The Mercedes GLK was produced from 2008 to 2015 as a compact luxury SUV, sitting between the GLC and GLE in Mercedes' line-up. Early models featured straightforward rear window glass, whilst later variants introduced integrated features such as heating elements and antenna technology.
Rear windows on the GLK commonly carry an integrated antenna for radio reception and may include a brake light function integrated into the glass itself. These elements must be matched precisely during replacement to restore full functionality.
