Here's how a rear window replacement through UKCG typically unfolds.
You receive an instant online quote via our quick variant quiz — takes under 60 seconds.
Once booked, our parts-check team verifies the exact glass specification for your Vivaro, confirming features like heating, antenna, and tint.
A specialist from our network near you is matched to your job and contacts you to arrange a time.
The fitter arrives at your address or workshop of choice; replacement typically takes 30–60 minutes of hands-on time. A shattered rear window means shard cleanup is a significant part of the job — your fitter will remove accessible broken glass, though small shards can lodge in places that need deeper cleaning.
After fitting, your fitter confirms the drive-away time (depending on the adhesive used) before you leave.
For a thorough interior clean and to ensure all glass fragments are removed, we recommend a professional valet afterwards.
Your replacement is covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
Most Vivaro rear window replacements are carried out at your address or a workshop of your choice — mobile fitting is the standard option. Since Vivaro rear windows do not carry forward-facing cameras or ADAS equipment, there is no calibration requirement after fitting, making the job straightforward for mobile scheduling.
If weather conditions are poor or site access is challenging, you may prefer a workshop visit for your own convenience — discussed with your matched specialist when they contact you.

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.
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.
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.
A TV-reception aerial printed into the rear window, typically for in-car entertainment systems.
A TV antenna is an aerial pattern laminated into the rear windscreen or rear side window to receive broadcast television signals. It's a separate system from the vehicle's radio or mobile antenna and is typically found in vehicles equipped with rear-seat entertainment systems. The antenna is printed directly onto or into the glass during manufacture, so when the glass is replaced, the antenna pattern must be reproduced on the replacement to maintain reception quality.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook for rear-seat entertainment or TV tuner capability. If your car has a rear-seat entertainment system with a TV tuner, the rear window will have a TV antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre to confirm whether your vehicle has this feature.
When the rear window is replaced, the replacement glass must include the matching TV antenna print to preserve reception. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass is typically required to ensure the antenna pattern is identical. The antenna is passive and requires no calibration or specialist procedures after fitting. Cure time for bonded rear glass is required; the fitter will confirm the drive-away time on the day.
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 Vivaro has been in continuous production since 2001, serving as a practical light commercial vehicle across multiple generations. Rear windows on the Vivaro are typically toughened glass — standard across the range, though some variants feature integrated heating for improved visibility in poor weather.
Glass features across the catalogue include green-tint and solar-control coatings, which absorb the sun's infrared rays to keep the cabin cooler. Some variants also carry TV antenna prints laminated into the rear glass for rear-seat entertainment systems, preserving reception when the original is replaced.
