Volkswagen Up rear window price, by year
Rear-window pricing varies with generation and available features. Earlier Up models tend to be more affordable, while later variants with solar-control or antenna-equipped glass carry slightly higher costs due to the additional hardware involved.

- 2
A parts check confirms your exact glass specification, including any tinting or hardware features.
- 3
You're matched with a specialist near you and offered a convenient fitting slot.
- 4
The fitter attends to replace your rear window, typically completing the job within 30–60 minutes of their time on site.
- 5
A shattered rear window means shard cleanup is part of the job — your fitter will remove accessible broken glass, though small shards can lodge in places that need deeper access. We recommend a professional valet afterwards for thorough detailing.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Up?
The Volkswagen Up rear-window replacement is typically completed mobile at your address. Your specialist arrives with everything needed to fit the glass and clear accessible shards.
If your area or weather conditions make a mobile visit impractical, a workshop fitting is always an option — just let us know when you book.

Heated Rear Windscreen4
2011–2024On the Volkswagen Up: fitted on every one of the 4 rear window variants we list; model years 2011–2024.
Heated 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.
Antenna2
2011–2024On the Volkswagen Up: fitted on 2 of the 4 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2011–2024.
What it means
An aerial laminated into the glass for radio, DAB or TV reception, replacing a traditional roof mast — your replacement must carry the matching antenna print.
On your Volkswagen Up
Common on later Up models; confirmed during the quote and parts check if your variant carries one.
Green2
2011–2024On the Volkswagen Up: fitted on 2 of the 4 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2011–2024.
What it means
A subtle green tint in the glass, standard on most modern vehicles and hard to notice at first glance.
On your Volkswagen Up
Nearly all Up variants carry this tint; confirmed during the parts check to ensure your replacement matches the original.
Grey Privacy2
2011–2024On the Volkswagen Up: fitted on 2 of the 4 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2011–2024.
Dark grey tint on rear windows provides privacy and reduces interior heat and glare.
What it means
Dark grey tint, formally known as privacy glass, is a factory-applied tint created through a deep-dipping process during glass manufacture. The pigment is infused into the inner surface of the glass, darkening the rear windows (and sometimes rear doors) significantly more than the front. This reduces heat transmission, minimises glare, and obscures the interior from outside view. It's standard on the rear half of many modern vehicles.
How to tell
Compare the rear side windows and rear window (backlight) to the front side windows — the rear glass will be noticeably darker. Check your vehicle documents or ask your dealership service centre if you're unsure whether your car left the factory with privacy glass.
Replacement impact
Dark grey tinted glass must be sourced from the Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) or dealership to ensure colour and transmission match your vehicle's existing rear glass. The tint is integral to the glass itself, not a surface coating, so aftermarket non-tinted glass will look visibly mismatched. Replacement does not require any calibration and follows standard bonded-glass cure times for rear windows.
Solar Control2
2011–2024On the Volkswagen Up: fitted on 2 of the 4 rear window variants we list (50%); model years 2011–2024.
What it means
A special coating that absorbs the sun's infrared rays, keeping the interior cooler in hot weather — typically available on higher trim levels.
On your Volkswagen Up
More common on later Up models and premium trims; verified in your parts check if your variant includes it.
