Mercedes Vito rear window price, by year
Price variation reflects generation differences, glass tinting options, and whether your Vito carries heated rear glass or integrated alarm wiring. Earlier models without heating or specialist features are more affordable, whilst later variants with heat or antenna integration may carry a higher cost due to fitting complexity.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Vito?
Most Vito rear-window replacements are completed mobile at your location — the technician arrives with your replacement glass and fits it on-site. Because rear windows don't carry ADAS cameras or calibration requirements, workshop attendance isn't necessary unless you prefer it for scheduling or weather reasons.
If you choose a workshop appointment instead, your specialist can fit the glass in a controlled environment, which is useful if weather or site access is a constraint.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Heated Rear Windscreen13
1996–2026On the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 13 of the 14 rear window variants we list (93%); model years 1996–2026.
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.
Green8
1996–2026On the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 8 of the 14 rear window variants we list (57%); model years 1996–2026.
What it means
Around 90% of all glass has a subtle tint that's hard to see at first glance — green is one of the most common factory tints across Vito variants.
On your Mercedes Vito
Confirmed during your online quote based on your Vito's year and specification.
Solar Control4
2003–2026On the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 4 of the 14 rear window variants we list (29%); model years 2003–2026.
What it means
A solar-coated rear window that absorbs the Sun's infrared rays, reducing interior heat buildup — typically fitted on higher-specification or cargo-heavy Vito variants.
On your Mercedes Vito
Found on later-generation Vito models and some fleet-spec trims; confirmed at the parts check stage of your booking.
Clear3
1996–2026Calibration varies by vehicleOn the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 3 of the 14 rear window variants we list (21%); model years 1996–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.
Clear windscreen glass has no tint; most cars have a slight tint as standard.
What it means
A clear windscreen contains no added tint layer. Most modern windscreens incorporate a subtle tint (typically blue, green, grey or bronze) as standard to reduce glare, provide UV protection, and improve cabin comfort. A genuinely clear windscreen is the absence of this tint. Clear glass is less common than tinted variants and is sometimes specified for aesthetic or operational reasons, though the tint difference is usually imperceptible to the naked eye.
How to tell
Lower your side window halfway and hold a white piece of paper behind it. If you see a noticeable colour cast (blue, green, grey or bronze) in the side glass, your windscreen has the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen specification in your service records.
Replacement impact
Clear windscreen replacement uses the same installation process as any other windscreen. No special calibration or extended cure time applies. Sourcing is straightforward — clear glass is widely available as an aftermarket replacement. Installation time and drive-away restrictions follow standard windscreen replacement timings.
Grey Privacy3
2003–2026On the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 3 of the 14 rear window variants we list (21%); model years 2003–2026.
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.
Antenna1
2014–2026On the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 1 of the 14 rear window variants we list (7%); model years 2014–2026.
What it means
An aerial laminated into the glass — typically for radio or DAB reception — replacing a traditional roof-mounted mast. A replacement must carry the matching antenna print and connector so your van's reception is restored on fitting.
On your Mercedes Vito
Present on some fleet or higher-spec Vito variants; identified at the parts check to ensure the replacement includes the antenna connector.
Brake Light1
1996–2003On the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 1 of the 14 rear window variants we list (7%); model years 1996–2003.
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.
Open1
2014–2026On the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 1 of the 14 rear window variants we list (7%); model years 2014–2026.
An opening pane with hinged hardware, typically on rear quarters or van sides.
What it means
An opening glass pane is a hinged or pivoting section of bodyglass designed to swing or tilt outward for ventilation or access. Commonly found on rear quarters of estates or vans, and on van side panels. Unlike fixed side windows or windscreens, opening panes are part of the vehicle's passive ventilation system and allow airflow without opening a door or window. The hinge and frame hardware are integral to the feature's function.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's side and rear quarter panels for hinged glass sections that swing outward. Ask your dealer or service centre whether your model includes rear quarter vents or van-side opening panels. Your handbook will list ventilation features. Opening panes are visually distinct from sliding or rolling windows — they pivot on visible hinges rather than moving vertically or horizontally.
Replacement impact
UKCG handles opening-pane replacement on a bespoke basis — please contact us for a quote rather than using the automated quote tool. Replacement includes the glass pane and matching hinge hardware where supplied. Fitting time is typically brief as there is no adhesive cure or calibration required. The pane is held in place by mechanical hinges and seals, so you can use the vehicle immediately after fitting.
Unheated Rear Windscreen1
2015–2026On the Mercedes Vito: fitted on 1 of the 14 rear window variants we list (7%); model years 2015–2026.
A rear window without heating elements — selected when the model's standard specification includes a heated rear glass option.
What it means
An unheated rear window is a variant specification where the rear glass does not include integrated electric heating wires. Many vehicle models offer heated rear glass as standard or as an option to demist the window quickly in cold or wet conditions. An unheated rear window omits this feature entirely. It is a cost-conscious choice and remains fully functional for visibility and weather protection — demisting simply takes longer and relies on the vehicle's cabin heating system alone.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or service documentation. If your model range lists 'heated rear window' or 'rear demister' as a standard or optional feature and your car does not have it, you have an unheated variant. You can also look at the rear window itself — a heated rear window shows a faint pattern of horizontal heating wires when you look closely at the glass. An unheated window appears completely clear with no wire pattern visible.
Replacement impact
Replacement glass must match your original specification. If your vehicle has an unheated rear window, the replacement must also be unheated — you cannot fit a heated variant without additional wiring and control-module work, which falls outside standard glass replacement scope. Conversely, if heated glass is standard for your model and you wish to stay unheated, confirm this choice at booking. No calibration is involved with rear-window replacement.
About the Mercedes Vito
The Mercedes Vito has been in continuous production since 1996, evolving through multiple generations as Europe's preferred compact commercial van. Rear windows on Vito models are typically toughened glass, with around half of active variants featuring a green tint that's subtle but standard across matching door glass.
Tint, tinting options, and specialist features like solar control or integrated antenna vary by generation and specification. Later Vito models may include heated rear glass or alarm-wire integration depending on trim, so variant identification through the quote process ensures you get the exact match for your van.
Mercedes vans do not typically carry windscreen-mounted ADAS systems, so rear-window replacement is straightforward without calibration complexity.
