Vauxhall Astra rear window price, by year
Price variation depends mainly on generation and trim level. Newer Astras with solar-control or encapsulated rear glass carry higher replacement costs, whilst earlier variants with standard clear or green tinted glass are more affordable. Availability of aftermarket glass versus dealership stock can also influence the final quote, which is confirmed during UKCG's parts check after booking.

What to expect during your Vauxhall Astra rear window replacement
Rear window replacement is straightforward but involves shard cleanup—here's what happens from start to finish.
- 1
You answer a quick online quiz about your Astra's year, trim, and features to generate an instant quote.
- 2
UKCG confirms your variant's exact glass specification with a parts check.
- 3
You're matched with a local specialist technician who sources your replacement rear window.
- 4
The technician arrives and removes the shattered original, clears accessible glass fragments, and fits the new window.
- 5
Small shards can lodge in places fitters can't reach—we recommend booking a professional interior valet afterwards for thorough detailing.
- 6
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Mobile fitting at your address is standard; workshop options available if preferred.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Astra?
Most Astra rear-window replacements are carried out mobile at your address—this is the standard option. Workshop attendance is rarely required for rear-window jobs since they don't involve ADAS calibration systems.
Choose a workshop visit if you prefer it, or if poor weather on the day makes your driveway unsuitable. Your fitter will advise during booking confirmation.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Heated Rear Windscreen32
1983–2026On the Vauxhall Astra: fitted on every one of the 32 rear window variants we list; model years 1983–2026.
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.
Green19
1983–2026On the Vauxhall Astra: fitted on 19 of the 32 rear window variants we list (59%); model years 1983–2026.
What it means
A green tint in the glass—often subtle and hard to spot—that reduces glare and heat transmission. About 90% of all automotive glass carries a tint.
On your Vauxhall Astra
Confirmed during your online quote and parts check; you won't necessarily see it unless you compare side-by-side with completely clear glass.
Clear7
1983–2004Calibration varies by vehicleOn the Vauxhall Astra: fitted on 7 of the 32 rear window variants we list (22%); model years 1983–2004; calibration varies by vehicle.
What it means
Completely transparent glass with no tint. Most cars carry a tint in their windscreen, but rear windows on some Astras remain fully clear.
On your Vauxhall Astra
Identified by the parts team after your booking based on your Astra's year and trim.
Solar Control5
2009–2026On the Vauxhall Astra: fitted on 5 of the 32 rear window variants we list (16%); model years 2009–2026.
What it means
A special coating that absorbs the sun's infrared rays, reducing heat buildup inside the car—especially useful for vehicles parked in direct sunlight.
On your Vauxhall Astra
Typically fitted to higher-spec Astra trims; confirmed during the quote process.
Antenna3
2009–2026On the Vauxhall Astra: fitted on 3 of the 32 rear window variants we list (9%); model years 2009–2026.
An 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.
Dark Green3
2004–2026On the Vauxhall Astra: fitted on 3 of the 32 rear window variants we list (9%); model years 2004–2026.
What it means
A noticeably darker green tint compared to the standard green found on many Astras, offering enhanced privacy and heat reduction.
On your Vauxhall Astra
Visible if your rear door windows are darker than your front windows; confirmed in your parts check.
Bronze2
1983–1991On the Vauxhall Astra: fitted on 2 of the 32 rear window variants we list (6%); model years 1983–1991.
Bronze tint reduces glare and heat whilst maintaining a warm aesthetic that complements most vehicle interiors.
What it means
Bronze tint is a coloured coating applied to the windscreen during manufacture to reduce solar heat transmission and glare from sunlight. It's one of several standard tint options (alongside green, grey, and blue) offered by most vehicle makers. The tint doesn't impair visibility but gives the glass a warm, brownish appearance when viewed from outside. Most modern vehicles have some form of windscreen tint as standard—it's rarely a clear, untinted windscreen.
How to tell
Roll down a side window halfway and hold a white piece of paper behind the glass from outside. If you see a bronze or warm-brown tint in the side window, your windscreen carries the same tint. Alternatively, ask your vehicle's dealer or service centre for the original windscreen specification—they can confirm the tint colour code. Most documentation refers to it as 'bronze' or occasionally 'warm bronze'.
Replacement impact
When replacing a windscreen with bronze tint, the replacement glass must match the original tint specification exactly. Fitting an untinted or differently tinted windscreen will create a noticeable colour mismatch with the side windows and alter the vehicle's interior light and thermal characteristics. We confirm the exact tint code from your vehicle's records and source an OE-equivalent or OEM glass to preserve the original appearance and performance.
Green Privacy1
2011–2026On the Vauxhall Astra: fitted on 1 of the 32 rear window variants we list (3%); model years 2011–2026.
Dark 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.
About the Vauxhall Astra
The Vauxhall Astra has been a mainstay of the British market since 1983, evolving through multiple generations from the original rear-wheel-drive saloon to the modern front-wheel-drive platform.
Rear windows across the Astra range are typically toughened glass—designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. This means shard cleanup is a significant part of the replacement job, with fragments often lodging in places fitters can't easily reach on the day.
Most active Astra variants in our catalogue carry a green or clear tint in the rear window, with some higher-spec models featuring solar-control glass to reduce heat buildup. Encapsulated rear panels—where the trim seal is bonded to the glass at the factory—appear on a minority of variants and arrive ready-to-fit without additional sub-assembly.
