Mini Countryman rear window price, by year
Rear window replacement costs vary by generation and feature set. Older Countryman models without heating or antenna are generally the most straightforward. Mid-generation variants with integrated heating add calibration and parts complexity. Latest models from 2024 onwards with rear-side-glass heating elements and antenna integration carry higher replacement costs due to the specialist glass and the additional features that must be matched on fitting.

What to expect during your Mini Countryman rear window replacement
Booking your MINI Countryman rear window replacement through UKCG takes just a few steps from quote to fitting.
- 1
Complete an instant online quote using our guided quiz—no registration number needed. You'll answer a few quick questions about your Countryman's year and spec to identify the exact glass variant.
- 2
Our parts team confirms that the correct replacement glass—with matching heating, antenna, and tint—is available for your model.
- 3
You're matched with an approved fitter in your area who specialises in MINI glass replacement.
- 4
On fitting day, the fitter removes the shattered rear window and fits your replacement. Because the rear window is toughened glass, shard cleanup is part of the job, though small pieces can lodge in hard-to-reach areas—we recommend a professional valet afterwards for a thorough interior clean.
- 5
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before releasing your vehicle. Heating elements are tested to ensure the rear-demist circuit works correctly.
- 6
You're covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality, backed by our network of specialists.
The whole process—quote to booking to fitted—typically completes within a couple of hours on the day you choose.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Countryman?
Most MINI Countryman rear window replacements can be fitted at your home or workplace by mobile appointment. However, if your Countryman is equipped with the optional ADAS (Active Driving Assistant) package—particularly from 2022 onwards—camera calibration is required after the windscreen replacement (not the rear window). This calibration requires a workshop with static target boards in a controlled environment. Although the rear window itself doesn't trigger calibration, UKCG coordinates your booking to ensure any necessary services are scheduled together at a suitable location.
Rear window replacement itself typically takes 30–60 minutes of the fitter's time, including shard cleanup from the shattered original. Heating element testing is completed on the day to confirm the demist circuit works correctly.

Heated Rear Windscreen4
2010–2026On the Mini Countryman: fitted on every one of the 4 rear window variants we list; model years 2010–2026.
What it means
A rear window with integrated heating wires that clear mist and ice when the defogger is switched on. Replacement glass must include matching heating grid and connectors for the demist circuit to work.
On your Mini Countryman
Standard on some higher trims and later models from around the mid-2010s onwards; increasingly common on 2020+ Countryman variants. Confirmed during your quote.
Antenna3
2010–2026On the Mini Countryman: fitted on 3 of the 4 rear window variants we list (75%); model years 2010–2026.
What it means
An aerial laminated into the rear glass for AM/FM radio reception, replacing a traditional roof-mounted mast. Replacement must carry the matching antenna print and connector so the vehicle's radio reception is restored.
On your Mini Countryman
Fitted on most modern Countryman models from the early 2010s onwards, particularly common on 2020+ variants. Confirmed during the parts check.
Brake Light2
2010–2017On the Mini Countryman: fitted on 2 of the 4 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2010–2017.
What it means
A high-level brake light integrated into the rear window glass via a silkscreen pattern and wiring. Replacement glass must carry the identical brake-light pattern so the original lighting circuit reconnects properly.
On your Mini Countryman
Present on some Countryman variants, particularly earlier generations. Visible as a faint pattern or wire grid across the top of the rear window. Confirmed at the parts check.
Green2
2010–2020On the Mini Countryman: fitted on 2 of the 4 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2010–2020.
What it means
A subtle green tint in the glass that is difficult to spot with the naked eye but becomes apparent when the glass is removed and held up to light. If your Countryman has this tint, the replacement must match it.
On your Mini Countryman
Present on roughly half of Countryman variants across our active catalogue. Not usually noticeable when fitted to the car, but our parts team identifies it as part of the specification check during your quote.
Solar Control2
2010–2020On the Mini Countryman: fitted on 2 of the 4 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2010–2020.
What it means
Specialised coating on the glass that absorbs the sun's infrared rays, reducing interior heat buildup. Often paired with privacy tint on premium variants.
On your Mini Countryman
Optional on later models, typically bundled with privacy or higher comfort packs on 2015+ Countryman variants. Confirmed during the quote process.
Dark Green1
2010–2017On the Mini Countryman: fitted on 1 of the 4 rear window variants we list (25%); model years 2010–2017.
Dark green tinted rear and side glass that's noticeably darker than the front windscreen but still see-through in daylight.
What it means
Dark green tint is a factory-applied colour to the rear window and side windows on some vehicles. It serves both aesthetic and functional purposes: it reduces glare and heat from sunlight, provides a degree of privacy without completely obscuring the interior, and contributes to the vehicle's overall design. Unlike privacy glass (which is much darker and difficult to see through from outside), dark green tint maintains reasonable transparency while still offering a tinted appearance.
How to tell
Look at your rear window and rear side windows in daylight. If they appear noticeably darker and greenish in tone compared to your front windscreen, you have dark green tint. The tint will be clearly visible when you look at the vehicle from outside, but you'll still be able to see through to the interior in normal daylight. Check your vehicle documentation or ask your dealership if you're uncertain.
Replacement impact
Replacement glass must match the original dark green tint specification to maintain the vehicle's appearance and light-control properties. We source OEM or OE-equivalent tinted glass to the correct colour specification. Tinted glass is available from stock for most common vehicles, though lead times may occasionally be slightly longer than untinted variants. Installation and cure procedures are identical to standard glass; tint does not affect fitting time or drive-away windows.
Grey Privacy1
2017–2026On the Mini Countryman: fitted on 1 of the 4 rear window variants we list (25%); model years 2017–2026.
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.
Heated Windscreen1
2010–2017On the Mini Countryman: fitted on 1 of the 4 rear window variants we list (25%); model years 2010–2017.
Heated windscreens use embedded wires to quickly clear ice and condensation in cold weather.
What it means
A heated windscreen is integrated with a fine mesh of electrical wires embedded within the glass itself. When activated, these wires generate heat to warm the windscreen surface, helping to rapidly clear frost, ice, and condensation during cold or damp conditions. This feature improves visibility and safety in winter driving and reduces reliance on engine heat and demister air, which can be slower on very cold mornings.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's handbook or contact your dealership service centre — they can confirm whether your model includes this feature. Look for a dashboard symbol (usually a windscreen icon with heat waves) when you activate the function, or check your infotainment settings for a heating or climate option linked to the windscreen. Some vehicles have a dedicated button on the stalk or console.
Replacement impact
Heated windscreens require replacement glass to be of the correct heated specification — standard unheated glass cannot be fitted. The replacement glass must be sourced to match your vehicle's exact heated-wire configuration. Installation is straightforward, though the technician will confirm the heating element is functioning correctly after fitting. No calibration is required for this feature.
About the Mini Countryman
The MINI Countryman has been in continuous production since 2010, evolving through three generations. Early models feature straightforward rear windows with basic tinting, whilst later variants—especially from the early 2020s onwards—increasingly include integrated heating elements and antenna systems for improved demisting and radio reception.
From 2022 onwards, the Countryman began carrying optional ADAS (Active Driving Assistant) packages with front-facing cameras. These camera-equipped variants require a workshop-based static calibration after rear window replacement, though the glass itself is fitted at your chosen location. Heating elements in the rear side glass (introduced on 2024 models) add complexity to the replacement but are accommodated within the standard service.
