Tesla Model S rear window price, by year
Price variation depends on generation, tint options, and whether the glass carries laminated or solar-control properties. Earlier Model S variants with straightforward toughened glass are typically more affordable.
Later models and those with laminated, solar-control, or antenna-equipped rear windows carry higher replacement costs due to their added complexity and material specifications.

What to expect during your Tesla Model S rear window replacement
Booking a rear-window replacement through UK Car Glass follows a simple, guided process.
- 1
Answer a short quiz about your Model S — generation, year, and trim — to identify the exact rear-window variant you need.
- 2
Receive an instant quote and choose your fitting slot: mobile at your address or at a workshop.
- 3
We match you with an approved technician in your area who sources the correct replacement glass.
- 4
On fitting day, the technician removes the shattered glass, clears accessible shards, and seals the new window into place.
- 5
A shattered rear window leaves broken glass in hard-to-reach places — we recommend a professional valet afterwards for thorough interior detailing.
- 6
You're covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality from the date of replacement.
Drive away with confidence — your replacement is backed by our network guarantee and industry-standard warranty.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Model S?
Most Model S rear-window replacements are fitted mobile at your home or workplace — the technician arrives with the glass and tools, completes the job, and leaves.
Workshop visits are chosen by preference or when weather conditions make a mobile fit impractical. Because the rear window is not safety-critical for ADAS calibration, no technical reason forces a workshop booking — it's your choice.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Green3
2012–2026On the Tesla Model S: fitted on every one of the 3 rear window variants we list; model years 2012–2026.
What it means
A subtle tint present on approximately 90% of all automotive glass — hard to see but a permanent feature that must be matched on replacement.
On your Tesla Model S
Present on nearly all Model S variants; confirmed during your quote once the variant is identified.
Heated Rear Windscreen3
2012–2026On the Tesla Model S: fitted on every one of the 3 rear window variants we list; model years 2012–2026.
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.
Antenna2
2012–2026On the Tesla Model S: fitted on 2 of the 3 rear window variants we list (67%); model years 2012–2026.
What it means
An aerial laminated directly into the glass for radio, DAB, or reception — replacing a traditional roof mast. A replacement must carry the matching antenna print and connector.
On your Tesla Model S
Fitted to many later Model S variants; the technician confirms antenna presence during the booking and sources the matching glass.
Laminated2
2012–2026On the Tesla Model S: fitted on 2 of the 3 rear window variants we list (67%); model years 2012–2026.
What it means
Your glass will crack instead of shatter, with a visible interlayer inside. Laminated glass sounds different when knocked and offers improved noise reduction.
On your Tesla Model S
Fitted to certain Model S variants, particularly mid-range and higher trims; your technician confirms during the parts check.
Solar Control2
2012–2026On the Tesla Model S: fitted on 2 of the 3 rear window variants we list (67%); model years 2012–2026.
What it means
A solar-control coating absorbs the sun's infrared rays, reducing cabin heat and UV ingress — particularly useful in hot conditions.
On your Tesla Model S
Standard on select Model S variants; identified as part of your build specification during the quote process.
About the Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S has been in continuous production since 2012, evolving through multiple generations with steady refinement to its glass and sensor systems. Rear windows across the range are typically toughened glass, chosen for durability and rapid replacement when damaged.
Most variants come with a green-tinted rear window as standard — a subtle tint that's hard to see but present on the vast majority of models. Some variants also feature a laminated rear window, which cracks instead of shattering and carries a visible interlayer, offering added noise reduction and structural support.
Solar-control coating appears on selected variants, helping reduce cabin heat and UV ingress. Many later variants also feature an antenna laminated into the glass for radio and reception — a detail that must be matched on replacement to restore vehicle reception.
