Mercedes R Class rear window price, by year
Pricing varies primarily by generation and the specific glass variant your R-Class uses. Antenna integration and solar-control tinting are the main cost drivers on later models, alongside the complexity of removing and replacing the heated rear glass assembly. Earlier 2006–2010 models without these features are typically more straightforward to replace.

What to expect during your Mercedes R Class rear window replacement
Booking your rear-window replacement is straightforward — most jobs are completed in a single visit.
- 1
Answer a short quiz about your R-Class (year, trim, any visible glass tints) in around a minute.
- 2
Receive an instant quote and choose your preferred fitting date and location.
- 3
On the day, your approved fitter arrives with the replacement glass and necessary tools.
- 4
Replacement typically takes 30–60 minutes of the fitter's time; shard cleanup is part of the job.
- 5
Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before you leave — usually aligned with when the adhesive has set.
- 6
For a thorough interior clean after the job, we recommend booking a professional valet afterwards to catch any small glass fragments that may have lodged in places fitters can't reach on the day.
Your replacement is backed by a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your R Class?
Most rear-window replacements can be done at your home or workplace — our approved fitters are equipped to work mobile. Since the R-Class rear window is toughened rather than bonded with structural adhesive, there's no calibration requirement that would necessitate a workshop visit.
If you prefer a workshop setting, or if weather conditions make mobile fitting impractical, you can request a workshop appointment at booking. Either way, your fitter will handle shard cleanup and confirm the drive-away time before leaving.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.
What features does your R Class have?
Tap a feature to see what it is, how to spot it on your car, and how it affects glass replacement. We confirm the exact match for your vehicle when you book.
Antenna1
2006–2023On the Mercedes R Class: fitted on every one of the 1 rear window variant we list; model years 2006–2023.
What it means
An aerial laminated into the rear glass for radio, DAB, or TV reception — your replacement must match this fitment exactly so reception is restored.
On your Mercedes R Class
Confirmed during the quote process based on your R-Class variant; antenna integration became standard on later generations.
Green1
2006–2023On the Mercedes R Class: fitted on every one of the 1 rear window variant we list; model years 2006–2023.
What it means
A very subtle green tint in the glass — difficult to spot without careful inspection — that filters infrared and UV light.
On your Mercedes R Class
Present on specific R-Class variants; our parts-check team will identify it and ensure your replacement matches.
Heated Rear Windscreen1
2006–2023On the Mercedes R Class: fitted on every one of the 1 rear window variant we list; model years 2006–2023.
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.
Solar Control1
2006–2023On the Mercedes R Class: fitted on every one of the 1 rear window variant we list; model years 2006–2023.
What it means
A special coating that absorbs the sun's infrared rays, reducing cabin heat and glare — more common on higher-specification trims and later model years.
On your Mercedes R Class
Typically found on S-Line, AMG-Line, and premium trim variants from the mid-2010s onwards; confirmed during parts verification.
About the Mercedes R Class
The Mercedes-Benz R-Class is a seven-seat luxury crossover that was in production from 2006 to 2023, spanning two distinct generations. Early models carried straightforward toughened rear glass with integrated heating elements, whilst later variants — particularly from the early 2010s onwards — introduced more sophisticated glass with antenna integration for improved in-vehicle reception.
Solar control glass became available on later R-Class models as an optional upgrade, helping to reduce cabin heat and UV ingress on sunny days. From around 2019 onwards, some variants included ADAS-equipped windscreens with forward-facing cameras, though rear-window glass remained unaffected by camera calibration requirements.
