Rear-window replacement costs vary with generation and glass specification. Earlier Hi Ace models with basic toughened glass are typically the most affordable; later variants with acoustic or privacy-tinted options carry slightly higher costs due to sourcing complexity and feature matching.

Our team matches you with a local specialist experienced with your variant and confirms the fitting appointment.
Your fitter arrives with the matched rear window and completes the replacement, typically within 30–60 minutes of work time.
A shattered rear window means shard cleanup is part of the job — your fitter removes accessible broken glass, though small shards can lodge in hard-to-reach places.
We recommend a professional valet afterwards for a thorough interior clean and complete peace of mind.
Your replacement glass carries a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality, with support from our network specialists.
Most Hi Ace rear-window replacements can be carried out at your home or workplace — mobile fitting is the default.
Your specialist will confirm on booking whether a workshop visit is more practical based on your location and the specific variant, but rear-window jobs rarely require workshop-only equipment.

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.
Clear windscreen glass has no tint; most cars have a slight tint as standard.
A clear windscreen contains no added tint layer. Most modern windscreens incorporate a subtle tint (typically blue, green, grey or bronze) as standard to reduce glare, provide UV protection, and improve cabin comfort. A genuinely clear windscreen is the absence of this tint. Clear glass is less common than tinted variants and is sometimes specified for aesthetic or operational reasons, though the tint difference is usually imperceptible to the naked eye.
Lower your side window halfway and hold a white piece of paper behind it. If you see a noticeable colour cast (blue, green, grey or bronze) in the side glass, your windscreen has the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen specification in your service records.
Clear windscreen replacement uses the same installation process as any other windscreen. No special calibration or extended cure time applies. Sourcing is straightforward — clear glass is widely available as an aftermarket replacement. Installation time and drive-away restrictions follow standard windscreen replacement timings.
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.
The Toyota Hi Ace has been a stalwart of the commercial van market since 1990, spanning multiple generations with steadily evolving glass specifications.
Earlier models carry straightforward toughened rear windows, whilst later variants from the mid-2010s onwards may feature acoustic interlayers or privacy tinting depending on trim and market configuration.
Most Hi Ace models fall outside the ADAS calibration scope for rear-window replacement, keeping jobs straightforward — though your fitter will confirm any specifics when you book.
