Replacement cost varies primarily by generation and tint specification. Models with factory light-green or green-tinted rear windows require matching glass, which affects sourcing; uncoloured variants are more straightforward. Solar control options, where fitted, also influence the final cost.
Earlier 1990s Almeras tend to be the most affordable to replace, whilst later-generation models with premium glass options carry higher replacement costs.

Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
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.
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 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.
A factory light-green tint found on some Japanese vehicles, distinct from standard European green and stocked separately.
Light green is a tint applied to the windscreen during manufacturing on certain Japanese-market vehicles. It differs subtly in colour and hue from the standard green tint used on European vehicles. This tint serves the same purpose as any factory tint — reducing glare, heat ingress, and UV exposure — but represents a distinct regional specification. Because the colour match must be precise, UKCG stocks and supplies light-green windscreens as a separate variant. Using a standard green tint on a vehicle that left the factory with light green will result in a visible colour mismatch.
Check your vehicle's original windscreen or consult your handbook or dealership service records. If your car is a Japanese make and the windscreen has a noticeably light greenish tint (rather than the standard neutral or slightly amber European green), you have a light-green windscreen. The tint is visible when you look through the glass at an angle or compare it side-by-side with a standard-green vehicle.
Light-green windscreen replacement requires an exact colour match to maintain consistency with the rest of the vehicle's glazing and exterior appearance. Standard green tints are not interchangeable. UKCG sources the correct light-green variant to your specific vehicle, ensuring seamless integration. No calibration is required — tint is a cosmetic and thermal property of the glass itself and does not affect safety systems or sensors.
Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
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.
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.
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.
Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
Solar control is a coating applied to the windscreen that absorbs the sun's infrared radiation rather than allowing it to pass through into the cabin. This reduces solar heat gain, helping to keep the interior cooler and more comfortable, particularly in warm weather or direct sunlight. The coating is transparent to visible light, so it doesn't darken the windscreen or affect visibility. It's a passive thermal management feature that works continuously whenever the sun is shining on the glass.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or contact your dealership service centre to confirm whether solar control glass is fitted. Some manufacturers list it as 'solar control windscreen', 'heat-reflective glass', or 'thermal management glass'. It's a factory-fitted feature and won't be visibly obvious from outside the car — the coating is integral to the glass itself.
Solar control glass is a factory-fitted specification. When replacing the windscreen, a solar control variant must be sourced to match the original. This is a standard glass type with no special fitting implications or calibration requirements. Cure and drive-away times follow normal windscreen bonding procedures. Confirm with your fitter that the replacement glass includes solar control to maintain the original thermal performance.
The Nissan Almera has been in continuous production since 1996, spanning multiple generations through to 2007. Earlier models carry straightforward toughened rear windows with simple heating elements, while later variants introduced incremental refinements to the demister and seal design.
From the early 2000s onwards, some Almera variants featured light-green or green-tinted rear glass, a characteristic of Nissan's Japanese-market heritage. These tints are distinct from standard European glass and must be matched exactly during replacement.
The Almera generation covered in our catalogue predates modern driver-assistance systems, so rear-window replacements do not involve ADAS calibration — a simpler job focused on glass fit and thermal function.
