Excellent service from first enquiry…
Excellent service from first enquiry through to fitting. I was sceptical at first and carried out various checks. All proved positive. 11/10. Highly recommended.

Renault Grand Espace rear window price, by year
Price variation depends on the generation, trim level, and presence of optional features like solar-control coating. Earlier models without advanced glass options tend to be more affordable, whilst later variants with solar-control or specialist tinting carry higher costs due to sourcing complexity and fitting requirements.

What to expect during your Renault Grand Espace rear window replacement
Booking your rear-window replacement through UK Car Glass involves a simple four-step process.
- 1
Answer a quick quiz about your Grand Espace's year, trim, and features to generate an instant quote.
- 2
Complete your booking online in under two minutes — choose a convenient date and time.
- 3
A specialist on our network confirms your glass specification and arranges a fitting slot.
- 4
The fitter arrives (mobile at your address or at a workshop, your choice) and replaces the rear window, typically in 30–60 minutes.
- 5
Shard cleanup is part of the job, but shards can lodge in hard-to-reach places — we recommend a professional interior valet afterwards for thorough detailing.
Your replacement glass is covered by a two-year warranty, and the fitter will confirm all details before leaving.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Grand Espace?
Most rear-window replacements on the Grand Espace are fitted mobile at your address. A workshop visit may be preferred during bad weather or if you'd rather keep your driveway clear during the work.
Because rear windows don't carry ADAS cameras, calibration isn't a factor in booking location — the choice is purely about convenience and conditions on the day.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Heated Rear Windscreen5
1996–2026Heated 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.
Green3
1996–2026Green 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.
Green Privacy2
2002–2026Dark green tint on rear and side windows is a factory colour choice, not a safety or performance feature.
What it means
Dark green is a factory tint applied to the glass during manufacture. It's purely aesthetic — a colour variant chosen by the vehicle designer to complement the body paint and interior trim. Unlike some tints that reduce solar heat or glare, dark green is decorative. Most vehicles have standard or light green glass; dark green is less common and typically found on specific trim levels or model years.
How to tell
Look at your rear and side windows from outside the car in daylight. If they appear noticeably darker or more saturated green than the front windscreen, you likely have dark green glass. You can also check your vehicle's specification sheet from the dealer or original documentation — tint colour is sometimes listed under 'glass' or 'exterior finishes'. If uncertain, ask your local dealership service centre.
Replacement impact
Dark green replacement glass must match the original tint colour exactly — a standard or light green windscreen will look visibly mismatched against dark green rear windows. Sourcing the correct variant can take slightly longer than standard glass, as it's less common. No calibration is involved with tinted glass itself. Fitting and cure time are unaffected.
Open2
2002–2026An 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.
Solar Control2
2002–2026Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
About the Renault Grand Espace
The Renault Grand Espace has been in production since 1996, evolving through multiple generations as a spacious seven-seater MPV. Rear-window specifications vary across the model range, with many variants featuring green-tinted glass as standard and some including solar-control technology on higher trims.
Earlier Grand Espace models carry straightforward toughened rear windows, whilst later generations introduced options for solar-control coating and dark-green tinting on rear side windows. Some variants are fitted with opening rear quarter panels (hinged vents), which affects glass specification and availability.
