On fitting day, your fitter removes the shattered rear window, clears accessible glass shards, and installs the new pane. This typically takes 30–60 minutes of their active time, though shard cleanup can be extensive so scheduling allows for it.
- 5
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before leaving — usually the same day, depending on the adhesive and weather.
- 6
A professional valet or interior detail afterwards is recommended to clear any glass shards that may have lodged in hard-to-reach places like seat mechanisms or trim channels.
You're covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality — backed by Trustpilot reviews from our network.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Corsa?
Most Vauxhall Corsa rear-window replacements are fitted mobile at your address — we can arrange a technician to come to you at home or work. The Corsa doesn't feature the camera-based safety systems that require workshop calibration on some modern vehicles, so your rear window fit is straightforward and mobile-friendly.
If weather is poor or your location isn't accessible to a van, your technician may suggest a workshop visit instead — always your choice.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Green13
1993–2026Green 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.
Brake Light6
1993–2026A 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.
Clear6
1993–2026Calibration varies by vehicleClear windscreen glass has no tint; most cars have a slight tint as standard.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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. If the side glass appears colourless, your windscreen is likely clear. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen specification in your service records.
Replacement impact
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. If your vehicle has ADAS features (forward-facing camera or radar), calibration may be required after replacement depending on your specific vehicle; we confirm this when we look up your car details.
Solar Control6
2001–2026Solar 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.
Dark Grey2
2014–2026Dark 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.
Left2
1993–2026Left side window — choose this if your car has a left-side door window that needs replacing.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Privacy2
2006–2026Privacy glass is a darker tint applied to rear and side windows for passenger comfort and security.
What it means
Privacy glass is a factory-applied dark tint coating on the rear window and side windows (or a selection of them) to reduce visibility into the vehicle's interior. It serves two purposes: it helps protect passengers and cargo from the sun, and it provides visual security by obscuring the view of occupants and valuables from outside. The tint is integral to the glass itself — either applied during manufacture or as a permanent coating — and is not the same as an aftermarket film.
How to tell
Look at the rear window and rear side windows from outside the vehicle. If they appear noticeably darker than the windscreen and front side windows, the car has privacy glass. Check your vehicle documentation (handbook or service history) under 'glass specifications' or 'optional equipment', or ask your dealership service centre — they can confirm which windows have the tint applied.
Replacement impact
Privacy glass must be replaced with OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass of the same tint specification. Aftermarket alternatives are available but may not match the original colour or darkness exactly. The replacement is a straightforward swap with no calibration implications. Availability is standard for mainstream models; lead time may be slightly longer for less common variants or older vehicles.
Right2
1993–2026Your vehicle has two rear doors, so a four-door configuration.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Dark Green1
2000–2026Dark 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.
Grey1
2020–2026Grey tint reduces glare and heat while maintaining a natural appearance — present on most modern windscreens.
What it means
Grey tint is a light, neutral coloured coating applied during manufacture to reduce solar heat and glare transmission through the windscreen. Unlike darker tints (bronze, green, blue), grey tint is barely perceptible to the driver and passenger — most people don't realise it's there. It's one of the most common factory tints on modern vehicles because it balances comfort (heat and glare reduction) with visibility and safety (minimal colour shift to the road ahead). The tint is integral to the glass itself, not a film applied afterwards.
How to tell
Roll your side window halfway down and hold a white piece of paper behind it. Look at the glass in natural daylight. If you see a subtle grey tone — cooler-looking than clear glass — your windscreen has grey tint. You can also check your vehicle's specification sheet or ask your dealership service centre. Grey tint is so light that many drivers mistake it for no tint at all.
Replacement impact
Grey tint is purely a manufacturing characteristic and does not affect windscreen replacement. The replacement glass is supplied with the same factory tint to match your vehicle's aesthetics and maintain heat rejection performance. No calibration, cure extension, or special handling is required. The tint is fused into the glass during production, not applied afterwards.
About the Vauxhall Corsa
The Vauxhall Corsa has been a British favourite since 1993, spanning multiple generations with steady evolution in glass specification. Rear windows on earlier models carry straightforward toughened glass, whilst newer variants introduce integrated features like brake lights and privacy tinting.
From the mid-2010s onwards, the Corsa's palette expanded to include solar-control and acoustic options on select trim levels, reflecting growing demand for comfort and refinement. These upgrades don't change the replacement process — your fitter sources glass matched to your exact factory specification — but they do influence availability and pricing across the model range.
