Tigra rear-window pricing is driven primarily by the encapsulated gasket design, which requires the entire sealed panel to be replaced rather than the glass alone. Sourcing availability can also influence cost, as the model is now over two decades old.

Here's how your Tigra rear-window replacement works, from instant quote to drive-away.
Book an instant online quote using our guided quiz — takes about a minute and gives you an upfront price.
We match you with an approved technician in your area who stocks the encapsulated rear-panel assembly for your Tigra.
Your fitter visits (or you visit their workshop) at a time that suits you.
The shattered rear window is removed and the new encapsulated panel is fitted and sealed. A shattered rear window means broken glass is involved — your fitter will clear accessible shards during the job, but we recommend a professional interior valet afterwards for thorough detailing.
You're given a minimum drive-away time by your technician and a two-year warranty covering the replacement and its workmanship.
If any issues arise after replacement, contact us with photos and we'll arrange a remedy.
The whole job typically completes within a couple of hours, and you're covered by our standard two-year warranty.
The Tigra's rear-window replacement is typically carried out as a mobile job at your address — no workshop visit needed. Because there's no ADAS calibration or camera equipment on these 1996–2000 models, the fitting is straightforward and your technician can complete it on your driveway.

Factory-bonded rubber or polymer trim means your replacement glass arrives ready to fit as one complete unit.
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.
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.
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.
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 Vauxhall Tigra is a compact two-seater coupé produced from 1996 to 2000, known for its fun-to-drive character and distinctive styling. Its rear window is a key design element, providing visibility whilst maintaining the car's sleek silhouette.
Rear-window glass on Tigra models features an encapsulated gasket — the rubber trim is bonded directly to the glass at the factory, so replacement arrives as a single sealed unit. This design keeps the rear panel perfectly weathertight and reduces fitting complexity.
Because the Tigra is from the pre-ADAS era, there's no camera or sensor equipment to recalibrate — your replacement is straightforward and mobile-friendly.
