Toyota Corolla rear window price, by year
Price variation depends primarily on generation and trim-specification changes across our 28 active Corolla variants. Earlier models with straightforward toughened glass and no encapsulation are typically the most affordable.
Later variants featuring encapsulated edges, brake-light integration, or alarm wiring require more precise specification matching and carry slightly higher costs. Your fitter sources the exact variant during the parts check that follows your online quote, ensuring accuracy before the job is booked.

What to expect during your Toyota Corolla rear window replacement
Booking a rear-window replacement through UK Car Glass takes just a few straightforward steps.
- 1
Start with our online quote tool — answer a quick few questions about your Corolla, and we'll identify your exact rear-window variant in under 60 seconds.
- 2
Once you've reviewed the quote, complete your booking online and we'll match you with an approved fitter in your area.
- 3
Our parts team runs a final check to confirm your glass specification matches your vehicle — this catches any encapsulation, brake-light, or alarm-wire requirements before the job is scheduled.
- 4
Your fitter attends on your chosen date (mobile at your address or workshop visit, depending on location and preference) and replaces the rear window — typically 30 to 60 minutes of active work.
- 5
Because your rear window was shattered, shard cleanup is a significant part of the job. Your fitter removes what they can reach, but we recommend a professional valet afterwards to ensure small shards lodged in trim, seats, or boot linings are fully removed.
- 6
You're covered by our two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality — if any issues arise, contact us and we'll arrange an inspection and remedy.
The entire process from quote to booking takes under two minutes, and your fitter will confirm the minimum drive-away time before they leave.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Corolla?
Most Toyota Corolla rear-window replacements are fitted mobile at your address — it's quick, convenient, and there's no ADAS calibration involved since rear windows don't carry cameras.
A workshop visit may be preferable in bad weather or if your driveway is tight. Once you've booked, your fitter will confirm the best location and any specific requirements when they contact you to schedule the appointment.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Green15
1997–2026Green 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.
Encapsulation13
1997–2026Factory-bonded rubber or polymer trim means your replacement glass arrives ready to fit as one complete unit.
What it means
Encapsulation is a rubber or polymer gasket moulded directly onto the glass edges during manufacturing. The trim is bonded to the glass at the factory — either by injection moulding, PU robot extrusion, or adhesive bonding. When you need a replacement, the entire panel arrives with its trim already attached, so the glass and gasket are replaced together as a single unit rather than as separate components.
How to tell
Check your current windscreen or rear window edges. If you see a continuous rubber or polymer seal running around the perimeter that appears moulded or permanently bonded to the glass itself — rather than a separate trim clipped or screwed to the frame — your glass is encapsulated. Ask your dealer or service centre to confirm; they can also check your vehicle specification sheet.
Replacement impact
Encapsulated glass simplifies replacement because there's no separate trim to remove, refit, or source. The bonded gasket is replaced as part of the glass unit, which reduces installation complexity and potential leak points. Cure time and drive-away procedures remain unchanged. No additional sourcing delays — encapsulated replacements are stocked as complete assemblies by most suppliers.
Antenna9
2007–2026An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.
What it means
An antenna is a conductive print laminated into the glass during manufacture, typically used for radio, DAB (digital audio broadcasting) or television reception. It replaces the traditional roof-mounted aerial mast found on older vehicles. The antenna is integrated into the glass interlayer and connected to the vehicle's receiver unit via a connector embedded in the glass edge. This design offers a cleaner aesthetic, reduces wind noise, and eliminates the vulnerability of a protruding mast to damage or theft.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's roof — if there is no visible aerial mast, your car likely has a laminated antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre whether your windscreen or rear window carries an antenna print. The connector may be visible on the glass edge or inside the door frame trim.
Replacement impact
When replacing glass with a laminated antenna, the replacement must carry the matching antenna print and connector to restore reception immediately on fitting. Aftermarket or original-equipment glass with the correct antenna specification is essential; a plain replacement will leave you without radio or DAB signal. Our fitters verify the antenna specification during booking and source the correct variant before the appointment.
Solar Control8
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.
Blue7
1983–1997Blue-tinted windscreens reduce glare and heat while maintaining a subtle, modern appearance.
What it means
A blue tint is a light coloration applied to the windscreen glass, usually during manufacture. It reduces solar heat transmission and glare from sunlight, particularly on bright days or when driving into the sun. The tint is integral to the glass itself — not a separate film — and is chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance comfort, visibility, and aesthetic consistency with the vehicle's side windows and rear window. Most vehicles come with a green or blue tint as standard; the choice depends on the manufacturer's design and regional climate considerations.
How to tell
Check your side windows by rolling one halfway down and holding a white piece of paper behind the glass. If you see a blue tint reflected in the glass, your windscreen will have the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen tint specification. The tint is visible when comparing the windscreen to clear glass, though it may be subtle and harder to spot on overcast days.
Replacement impact
Blue-tinted replacement windscreens must match the original tint to maintain visual consistency with your side and rear windows. Most replacement glass is available in the correct tint through OE (original equipment) suppliers. There is no calibration requirement related to tint. The tint does not affect fitting time, cure time, or drive-away schedules. Ensure the replacement windscreen is specified with the blue tint to avoid a mismatched appearance.
Dark Grey6
2019–2026Dark grey tint on rear windows provides privacy and reduces interior heat and glare.
What it means
Dark grey tint, formally known as privacy glass, is a factory-applied tint created through a deep-dipping process during glass manufacture. The pigment is infused into the inner surface of the glass, darkening the rear windows (and sometimes rear doors) significantly more than the front. This reduces heat transmission, minimises glare, and obscures the interior from outside view. It's standard on the rear half of many modern vehicles.
How to tell
Compare the rear side windows and rear window (backlight) to the front side windows — the rear glass will be noticeably darker. Check your vehicle documents or ask your dealership service centre if you're unsure whether your car left the factory with privacy glass.
Replacement impact
Dark grey tinted glass must be sourced from the Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) or dealership to ensure colour and transmission match your vehicle's existing rear glass. The tint is integral to the glass itself, not a surface coating, so aftermarket non-tinted glass will look visibly mismatched. Replacement does not require any calibration and follows standard bonded-glass cure times for rear windows.
Alarm Wire4
2019–2026A thin metal wire embedded in the glass forms part of your vehicle's alarm circuit and must be present in the replacement panel.
What it means
An alarm wire is a fine metal thread laminated into the windscreen or rear window glass as part of the vehicle's anti-theft or alarm system. Unlike heated-wire windscreens (which warm the glass), alarm wires carry a continuous electrical loop that detects glass breakage. When the glass shatters, the wire breaks and triggers the alarm. The wire serves no structural or visibility purpose—it exists purely for security detection.
How to tell
Check your vehicle handbook or ask your dealership service department whether your model includes an alarm wire in the windscreen or rear window. You won't see it easily from inside or outside the vehicle—it's laminated into the glass itself. If your car has an audible or visual alarm triggered by glass breakage (separate from motion sensors), an alarm wire is likely present.
Replacement impact
If your windscreen or rear window includes an alarm wire, the replacement glass must have an identical wire fitted to restore the alarm loop. This is a dealership-specification requirement and affects glass sourcing—aftermarket glass may not carry the wire, so OEM (original equipment) glass is often necessary. The wire itself does not affect fitting time, cure time, or calibration requirements. Confirm wire presence when booking so we source the correct glass variant.
Fitting Hardware3
2002–2010Pre-fitted clips and brackets that secure the glass to your vehicle, supplied ready to bond as a complete unit.
What it means
Fitting hardware comprises the clips, brackets, mouldings and adhesive retention components that hold the glass securely in place on your vehicle's frame. When your replacement glass is supplied with fitting hardware pre-attached, it arrives as a ready-to-install assembly rather than as bare glass requiring separate hardware attachment during the fit. This streamlines the replacement process and ensures correct positioning and fitment.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's service history or contact your dealership service department with your registration number. They can confirm whether your glass comes with pre-fitted hardware as standard. Visually, pre-fitted hardware appears as clips or brackets already bonded or attached to the glass edges before it reaches the fitting technician.
Replacement impact
Glass supplied with pre-fitted hardware typically requires no additional labour to attach clips or brackets during the fit, reducing technician time at the vehicle. The hardware must be in good condition and correctly positioned for the glass to seal and function properly. If hardware is damaged during removal of the old glass, replacement or repair of that hardware may be needed before the new glass can be fitted securely.
Brake Light2
1997–2002A brake light integrated into the rear window glass itself, requiring a matching replacement to reconnect the original lighting circuit.
What it means
A brake light integrated into the rear window glass is a lighting element built directly into the glass panel during manufacturing. Rather than using a separate lamp cluster mounted to the vehicle body, the light circuit is routed through conductive elements — typically a silkscreen pattern, wire network, or bracket assembly — embedded in or bonded to the glass itself. When you brake, this integrated light illuminates to warn following traffic. It combines functionality with design integration, reducing the number of separate components on the rear of the vehicle.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's rear window for a visible pattern of fine lines or wires running across the glass, usually near the top edge or spanning the upper portion. Look at your vehicle's manual or contact your dealer's service centre — they can confirm whether your rear window carries an integrated brake light. If you see a separate brake-light cluster mounted to the bodywork instead, your vehicle does not have this feature.
Replacement impact
The replacement rear window must carry the identical integrated brake-light pattern so the original lighting circuit reconnects without modification. The conductive elements — whether silkscreen, wiring, or bracket fittings — must align precisely with the vehicle's electrical connections. Using a standard rear window without this pattern would disable the brake light. We source the correct OE-specification glass to ensure a seamless fit and restore full functionality.
About the Toyota Corolla
The Toyota Corolla has been in continuous production since 1983, evolving through multiple generations and becoming one of the world's best-selling cars. Rear windows across the Corolla range are typically toughened glass — designed to shatter into small, relatively harmless pieces rather than large shards in the event of impact.
Earlier Corolla models carry straightforward toughened rear windows, whilst many later variants from the 2010s onwards feature encapsulated edges (pre-fitted rubber gaskets bonded at the factory), which means your replacement arrives as a complete panel-plus-trim unit. Some models also carry integrated features like brake-light circuits or alarm wiring laminated into the glass.
Toyota Safety Sense ADAS systems have become increasingly standard across the Corolla range in recent years, though these typically use front-facing cameras rather than rear-window-mounted equipment, so rear-window replacement is usually straightforward without calibration delays.
