Prices vary with generation and equipment specification — earlier models with straightforward rear windows are typically more affordable, while later variants with solar-control or brake-light integration carry slightly higher costs due to the added complexity. Heated rear-window variants command a different price point compared to unheated models.

Rear-window replacement is straightforward and typically completes within a couple of hours.
Start with a quick online quote — answer a few questions about your Combo's year and features in under a minute.
Once you've booked, our parts team verifies the exact specification to ensure your replacement glass matches the factory original.
You'll be matched with a specialist in your area, and a fitting is scheduled at a time that suits you.
On the day, your technician will remove the shattered rear window and fit your replacement. A shattered rear window means shard cleanup is part of the job — your fitter will remove as much broken glass as they can reach, though small shards can lodge in places that need deeper access afterwards.
We recommend booking a professional valet or interior clean after the job for thorough detailing.
Your replacement is covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
Book through UK Car Glass and benefit from our network of trusted local fitters and two-year warranty cover.
Rear-window replacement is typically carried out at your address or at a workshop location — either works equally well for a Combo, as there's no ADAS calibration involved in rear-glass fitting. The choice between mobile and workshop is yours to make at booking based on convenience and location.
Because the original glass arrives shattered, shard cleanup is a significant part of the job. Your fitter will remove what they can reach during the fitting, but we recommend a professional valet afterwards for thorough interior detailing — small shards can work into places technicians can't always access on the day.

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.
Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
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.
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.
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.
A brake light integrated into the rear window glass itself, requiring a matching replacement to reconnect the original lighting circuit.
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.
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.
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.
Your vehicle has two rear doors, so a four-door configuration.
This attribute identifies whether your vehicle is a four-door or two-door model. Four-door cars have a rear door on both the driver and passenger sides; two-door cars have only front doors. This classification affects which glass panels are present in your vehicle — four-door models include rear side windows and rear doors, whilst two-door models do not. Knowing your door configuration helps us identify the correct glass type and position for your windscreen or window replacement.
Count the doors on your vehicle. If you can open a door behind the front passenger and driver seats on both sides, you have a four-door (right) configuration. If only the front doors open, you have a two-door model. You can also check your vehicle's documentation or ask your dealer or service centre — they'll confirm the exact door count in seconds.
Four-door models have rear side windows and rear doors that may require replacement. This affects the range of glass panels we can supply and fit for you. All standard glass types in four-door cars — windscreen, rear window, front and rear side windows — are within our service scope and follow the same replacement and fitting process as two-door variants. The door configuration itself does not alter calibration or cure-time procedures.
Left side window — choose this if your car has a left-side door window that needs replacing.
The left side window is the glass panel in the door on the driver's side of the vehicle (or front passenger side in right-hand-drive markets where the driver sits on the right). This is an operable window — it rolls up and down using the window mechanism in the door. Unlike the windscreen or rear window, side windows are typically toughened glass, which means they shatter into small fragments if broken rather than cracking into large shards. Replacing a left side window is a straightforward job that doesn't involve adhesive bonding.
Look at the driver's side of your car — the left side window is the glass panel in the front-left door that you can wind down. If this glass is cracked, chipped, or missing, you need a left side window replacement. You can also check your vehicle's documentation or ask your dealer's service centre to confirm which positions are affected if you're unsure.
Left side window replacement is typically faster than windscreen work because there is no adhesive bonding and no calibration involved. The glass is held in place by clips, seals, and the door mechanism. However, if the window has shattered, glass fragments may lodge in hard-to-reach areas inside the door or trim. We recommend a professional interior valet afterwards to ensure all shards are thoroughly removed from seat mechanisms, seatbelts, and door channels.
Dark green tint on rear and side windows is a factory colour choice, not a safety or performance feature.
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.
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.
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.
A rear window without heating elements — selected when the model's standard specification includes a heated rear glass option.
An unheated rear window is a variant specification where the rear glass does not include integrated electric heating wires. Many vehicle models offer heated rear glass as standard or as an option to demist the window quickly in cold or wet conditions. An unheated rear window omits this feature entirely. It is a cost-conscious choice and remains fully functional for visibility and weather protection — demisting simply takes longer and relies on the vehicle's cabin heating system alone.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or service documentation. If your model range lists 'heated rear window' or 'rear demister' as a standard or optional feature and your car does not have it, you have an unheated variant. You can also look at the rear window itself — a heated rear window shows a faint pattern of horizontal heating wires when you look closely at the glass. An unheated window appears completely clear with no wire pattern visible.
Replacement glass must match your original specification. If your vehicle has an unheated rear window, the replacement must also be unheated — you cannot fit a heated variant without additional wiring and control-module work, which falls outside standard glass replacement scope. Conversely, if heated glass is standard for your model and you wish to stay unheated, confirm this choice at booking. No calibration is involved with rear-window replacement.
The Vauxhall Combo has been in continuous production since 2002, evolving through multiple generations as a practical light commercial vehicle. The rear window has remained a core component across all variants, though specifications have shifted with each generation refresh.
Most Combo rear windows feature green-tinted glass, and around three-quarters of active variants carry solar-control coatings that absorb the sun's infrared rays for cabin comfort. Some models include integrated brake-light patterns in the rear glass itself, which must be matched exactly during replacement so your original lighting circuit reconnects cleanly.
