Volvo S70 rear window price, by year
Replacement cost varies based on whether your rear window includes an integrated brake light and an alarm wire circuit — both features require precision matching during sourcing. Variants with both elements command a slightly higher cost due to their additional complexity, while simpler configurations are more affordable. The age of the vehicle means glass availability depends on aftermarket supply channels rather than dealership stock.
| Year | Price range | Variants | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | £721 — £810 | 2 variants | Price my 2000 |
| 1999 | £721 — £810 | 2 variants | Price my 1999 |
| 1998 | £721 — £810 | 2 variants | Price my 1998 |
| 1997 | £721 — £810 | 2 variants | Price my 1997 |
The displayed range is an indicator — the final price is produced by the quote form after you confirm your variant. Older S70s can still be booked.

What to expect during your Volvo S70 rear window replacement
From your online quote to a booked appointment, here's what happens.
- 1
Complete a quick online quiz to identify your car's exact rear-window specification — brake light integration, alarm wire, and any encapsulation or pre-fitted trim are confirmed automatically.
- 2
Receive an instant quote and choose your fitting location: mobile appointment at your address or at a workshop near you.
- 3
A specialist from our network is matched to your job based on availability and location.
- 4
On fitting day, the technician removes the shattered rear window, clears accessible glass shards, and bonds in the replacement panel with the same factory-spec features.
- 5
Your fitter will confirm the minimum drive-away time before finishing — typically a few hours to allow the adhesive to cure.
- 6
After the job, we recommend a professional interior valet to remove any fine glass shards that may have lodged in hard-to-reach places during the shatter.
You're covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality, backed by our network of approved fitters.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your S70?
The S70 is a straightforward rear-window replacement with no ADAS or calibration involved — your fitter can work mobile at your address or at a workshop, whichever suits you.
Most customers opt for mobile convenience. Workshop fitting is useful if weather is poor or if you prefer a controlled environment for the job. Either way, the technician will clear accessible glass shards during the fit, though you'll want a professional valet afterwards to tackle fine shards that may have lodged in trim channels or under seats.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Brake Light2
1997–2000A 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.
Green2
1997–2000Green 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 Windscreen2
1997–2000Heated 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.
About the Volvo S70
The Volvo S70 was produced from 1997 to 2000 as a compact executive saloon, representing the final generation of Volvo's entry-level sedan line before transition to the S60 platform.
Rear windows on the S70 are typically toughened glass and include integrated brake-light elements — a safety feature that must be matched exactly during replacement. Some variants carry an alarm wire laminated into the glass as part of the vehicle's anti-theft circuit, which also needs to be restored when the new panel is bonded in.
This generation predates modern ADAS, so no camera calibration is required. Replacement is straightforward, though the shattered glass from the original panel means shard cleanup is a significant part of the job.
