Prices vary primarily by generation and tint specification. Earlier Carina models without tinted glass tend to be the most straightforward and affordable replacements. Later-generation cars, particularly those with blue or green-tinted rear glass, may carry a slight premium owing to the tint matching required.

Our parts team confirms the correct rear-window glass matches your factory specification.
An approved fitter attends on your chosen date — mobile at your address or at a workshop if you prefer.
The fitter removes the shattered glass and fits your replacement, typically in 30–60 minutes of their time.
After fitting, we recommend a professional interior valet to clear any fine glass shards that may lodge in hard-to-reach places, then enjoy your Carina with a clear rear view.
Your replacement glass carries a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
The Toyota Carina is an older model without ADAS cameras or electronic calibration systems, so rear-window replacement is typically straightforward and can be completed mobile at your address. However, if weather is poor or you prefer a controlled workshop environment, you can always request a workshop appointment instead.

On the Toyota Carina: fitted on every one of the 6 rear window variants we list; model years 1988–1997.
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.
On the Toyota Carina: fitted on 4 of the 6 rear window variants we list (67%); model years 1988–1997.
A blue tint applied to the rear glass that reduces glare and heat — subtle enough that it can be difficult to spot, so careful inspection is important.
Most common on mid-to-later Carina models; confirmed during the quote process when you tell us your year and trim.
On the Toyota Carina: fitted on 2 of the 6 rear window variants we list (33%); model years 1992–1997.
A green tint on the rear glass that minimises solar heat gain — similarly understated and easy to miss unless you look closely.
Found on select Carina variants; will be identified during your quote based on your car's specification.
The Toyota Carina was produced across four generations from 1988 to 1997, serving as a compact saloon in the European market. Rear windows evolved gradually through this period, reflecting Toyota's incremental approach to glass design.
Most Carina variants from this era carry toughened rear glass without tinting, though some higher-specification models feature subtle blue or green tints that can be difficult to spot at first glance. Because Toyota Safety Sense and formal ADAS systems weren't fitted to cars of this age, rear-window replacement is straightforward and doesn't require calibration.
