Vauxhall Zafira rear window price, by year
Pricing varies based on your vehicle's generation, trim level, and any integrated features like brake lights or antenna prints. Earlier Zafiras with simpler rear windows are typically more affordable, whilst models with additional features such as privacy tinting or alarm-wire circuits carry higher costs due to the complexity of matching the factory specification.

What to expect during your Vauxhall Zafira rear window replacement
Booking your rear-window replacement through UK Car Glass takes just a few straightforward steps.
- 1
Answer a quick quiz about your Zafira's model year and features — this takes under a minute and identifies your exact glass variant.
- 2
Receive an instant quote and choose a convenient date and time for fitting.
- 3
Our team matches you with an approved fitter in your area who sources glass matching your factory specification.
- 4
On the fitting day, your fitter removes the shattered rear window, clears accessible glass shards, and installs the replacement — typically 30–60 minutes of their time.
- 5
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before leaving, and your replacement is covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
- 6
For a thorough interior clean after rear-window replacement, we recommend booking a professional valet afterwards — glass shards can lodge in places fitters can't always reach on the day.
Your fitter will confirm all details before completing the job, so you know exactly what to expect.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Zafira?
Most Vauxhall Zafira rear-window replacements are fitted at your address or workplace — our approved fitters bring everything they need for a mobile fitting. Since the Zafira rear window is not part of an advanced driver-assistance system, calibration is not required, and a workshop visit isn't typically necessary.
Your fitter will confirm whether mobile fitting or a workshop visit suits your situation best, based on access, weather, and your preference.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Green4
1999–2019Green 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 Light3
1999–2005A 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.
Dark Green3
1999–2019Dark 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.
Alarm Wire2
2011–2019A thin metal wire embedded in the glass forms part of your vehicle's alarm circuit and must be present in the replacement panel.
What it means
An alarm wire is a fine metal thread laminated into the windscreen or rear window glass as part of the vehicle's anti-theft or alarm system. Unlike heated-wire windscreens (which warm the glass), alarm wires carry a continuous electrical loop that detects glass breakage. When the glass shatters, the wire breaks and triggers the alarm. The wire serves no structural or visibility purpose—it exists purely for security detection.
How to tell
Check your vehicle handbook or ask your dealership service department whether your model includes an alarm wire in the windscreen or rear window. You won't see it easily from inside or outside the vehicle—it's laminated into the glass itself. If your car has an audible or visual alarm triggered by glass breakage (separate from motion sensors), an alarm wire is likely present.
Replacement impact
If your windscreen or rear window includes an alarm wire, the replacement glass must have an identical wire fitted to restore the alarm loop. This is a dealership-specification requirement and affects glass sourcing—aftermarket glass may not carry the wire, so OEM (original equipment) glass is often necessary. The wire itself does not affect fitting time, cure time, or calibration requirements. Confirm wire presence when booking so we source the correct glass variant.
Antenna2
2011–2019An 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.
Privacy1
2011–2019Privacy 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.
Solar Control1
2011–2019Solar 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.
