Mercedes SLK rear window price, by year
Pricing varies depending on whether your SLK features an encapsulated rear window and the specific year of production. Earlier models without factory-fitted gaskets tend to be more affordable, whilst later variants with integrated trim encapsulation carry slightly higher costs due to the additional manufacturing process.

What to expect during your Mercedes SLK rear window replacement
Booking your SLK rear window replacement through UK Car Glass is straightforward.
- 1
Answer a short online quiz about your model year and variant — the system confirms your exact rear window specification in under a minute.
- 2
Review your instant quote and proceed to checkout, completing your booking in under two minutes.
- 3
We match you with an approved technician in your area and confirm a fitting appointment at a time that suits you.
- 4
On the fitting day, your technician removes the shattered rear glass and clears accessible shards — this is a major part of the job. The new encapsulated window is then bonded into place using specialist adhesive.
- 5
Your fitter will confirm the minimum drive-away time before leaving (typically a few hours, depending on the adhesive used and weather conditions).
- 6
We recommend a professional interior valet afterwards to ensure any fine glass particles lodged in trim or seat areas are fully removed.
Your replacement is covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your SLK?
Rear window replacement on the SLK is typically carried out as a mobile fitting at your address — your approved technician brings the tools and adhesive needed to complete the job. Mobile fitting is the default for all standard bookings and offers convenience without compromising quality.
If you prefer a workshop environment or if your location isn't accessible for a mobile visit, simply let us know at booking and we'll arrange a workshop appointment instead.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Green1
1996–2004Green 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.
Heated Rear Windscreen1
1996–2004Heated 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.
About the Mercedes SLK
The Mercedes-Benz SLK is a two-seater convertible produced from 1996 to 2004, celebrated for its innovative retractable hardtop and compact sporting design. Early models featured straightforward toughened rear glass with a standard green tint — typical of the era.
As the model evolved through the late 1990s and into the 2000s, rear windows remained toughened, but encapsulation (a pre-fitted rubber gasket bonded to the glass edges at the factory) became the standard fitment. This means your replacement arrives as a complete sealed unit, simplifying the fit and improving the door seal.
