Pricing varies mainly between heated and unheated rear-window variants. Heated models require more complex glass with integrated demister wiring; unheated models are the simpler specification. Sourcing availability can also influence cost, as Primastar glass is less common than some passenger-car variants. All replacement glass matches your original factory specification.

Booking your rear-window replacement is straightforward — here's what happens from quote to completion.
You answer a short quiz about your van's specification (year, variant, features) to get an instant quote online.
Our parts team confirms your exact glass variant, including whether your rear window is heated or unheated.
You're matched with an approved technician in your area who stocks the correct glass.
The technician fits your new rear window — typically 30–60 minutes of their time, depending on the van's setup. A shattered rear window means shard cleanup is part of the job; your fitter will remove as much broken glass as they can reach, but small shards can lodge in places that need deeper access.
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before leaving, and you're covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
We recommend a professional valet afterwards to ensure any remaining glass fragments are safely removed from the interior.
The whole process — from online quote to booked appointment — takes just a couple of minutes.
Most Primastar rear-window replacements are fitted at your location — your van doesn't have an advanced driver assistance system requiring windscreen calibration. The Primastar pre-dates Nissan's Intelligent Mobility camera systems, so there's no post-fit calibration needed.
Your approved technician will typically attend mobile, unless weather or site access makes a workshop visit preferable. That choice is yours — either way, the job takes the same amount of time.

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.
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 rear window without heating elements — selected when the model's standard specification includes a heated rear glass option.
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.
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 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.
The Nissan Primastar is a light commercial van produced from 2002 to 2014, built on the Renault Master platform and marketed across Europe as a practical workhorse. Over its production run, the Primastar carried a straightforward rear window design without integrated cameras or advanced driver assistance systems.
Rear glass on the Primastar typically features a green tint (barely visible to the eye) and solar-control coating as standard across the model range. Some variants are equipped with heated rear windows, while others come with unheated glass — the choice affects both availability and replacement cost.
