Volkswagen Fox rear window price, by year
Pricing for Fox rear-window replacement is relatively consistent across the production run, as variants share the same basic glass specification. Variation is minimal because the model predates modern ADAS features and trim-level glass options are limited.
| Year | Price range | Variants | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | £388 — £388 | 1 variant | Price my 2008 |
| 2007 | £388 — £388 | 1 variant | Price my 2007 |
| 2006 | £388 — £388 | 1 variant | Price my 2006 |
| 2005 | £388 — £388 | 1 variant | Price my 2005 |
The displayed range is an indicator — the final price is produced by the quote form after you confirm your variant. Older Foxs can still be booked.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Fox?
Fox rear-window replacement can be carried out mobile at your home or at a workshop — whichever suits you best. Since the Fox lacks ADAS camera systems, there's no calibration required after fitting, so mobile replacement is the standard approach. Your technician will assess weather conditions and access on the day and confirm the best location with you.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Green1
2005–2008Green 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.
Heated Rear Windscreen1
2005–2008Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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 impact
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.
Solar Control1
2005–2008Solar 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.
About the Volkswagen Fox
The Volkswagen Fox was a compact city car produced from 2005 to 2008, designed as a budget-friendly entry point to the Volkswagen range. It shared mechanical foundations with the Polo but in a smaller, lighter package.
Fox rear windows are toughened glass, which means they shatter into small fragments if broken — making shard cleanup a significant part of the replacement job. The glass features a subtle green tint and solar-control coating to manage heat and UV, supplied with pre-fitted brackets ready to bond into place.
Most Fox variants lack advanced driver-assistance systems, so rear-window replacement is straightforward and doesn't require post-fit calibration.
