Pricing reflects the brake-light integration and encapsulated trim on the Bora's rear window. Specialist sourcing and fitment complexity are consistent across the model's years, with variation driven primarily by glass availability and local technician scheduling.

Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
A heated rear windscreen contains fine heating wires embedded within the glass. When you activate the rear demister, an electrical current passes through these wires, warming the glass and melting ice or condensation. This feature is particularly useful in cold or damp weather, improving rear visibility quickly. The heating grid is integral to the glass and connected to your vehicle's electrical circuit via connectors at the base of the windscreen.
Look at the rear windscreen from inside the vehicle — you will see a fine grid of horizontal lines across the glass, typically bronze or copper in colour. On the dashboard or steering wheel stalk, there will be a dedicated rear-demist button, usually marked with a windscreen symbol and heating lines. If in doubt, ask your vehicle's service centre or consult your handbook.
Replacement rear windscreens with heated grids are widely available as original-equipment aftermarket or dealership parts. The new glass must include the factory heating grid and electrical connectors intact. The technician will reconnect the heating circuit to your vehicle's rear-demist switch. Heated rear windscreens are bonded glass, so adhesive cure time applies; drive-away time will be confirmed by the fitter on the day.
The Volkswagen Bora was produced from 1998 to 2005 as a compact saloon offering practical family transport across its single generation.
Rear windows on the Bora are toughened glass — tinted green like the windscreen to match factory specification. The rear glass integrates a high-level brake light into its silkscreen pattern, so any replacement must carry the same brake-light configuration to reconnect cleanly with the original wiring.
Encapsulation means the rubber gasket is bonded directly to the glass edges at the factory, so your replacement arrives ready to fit as one sealed unit.
