Prices vary with generation and option take-up — earlier pre-2010 models without encapsulation are generally the most affordable, whilst later variants with integrated brake lights or factory trim seals carry slightly higher supply costs. Green tinting, present on most modern V40s, is a standard feature that doesn't materially affect pricing.

Booking your V40 rear-window replacement is straightforward and takes just minutes online.
Start with a quick guided quote using our online widget — answer a few questions about your V40's year and trim, then receive an instant price estimate.
Once you've confirmed your booking, our parts-check team verifies the exact glass variant you need, ensuring it matches your factory specification.
We match you with an approved technician in your area who has the replacement glass in hand and the equipment to handle the job.
On fitting day, your technician arrives with the new rear window. Shard cleanup from the shattered original is part of the job, though we recommend a professional valet afterwards for thorough interior detailing — small shards can lodge in places fitters can't always reach on the day.
Your fitter typically completes the replacement in 30–60 minutes of active work, depending on your V40's model and any additional hardware.
You're covered by our two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality — any issues with the seal or fit are sorted by us.
From booking to fitted in just a couple of hours — that's the UKCG experience.
Most V40 rear-window replacements are fitted mobile at your address — there's no ADAS calibration involved, and the job doesn't require workshop infrastructure. Your fitter brings everything needed to remove the shattered original, clear accessible shards, and bond the replacement safely.
We always recommend choosing mobile for convenience, though workshop fitting is available if you prefer. Either way, the appointment is booked at a single location — we don't split the job across multiple visits.

On the Volvo V40: fitted on every one of the 5 rear window variants we list; model years 1996–2020.
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.

A high-level brake light integrated into the rear window itself — your replacement must carry the same brake-light silkscreen so the original circuit reconnects cleanly.
Found on some later V40 variants; our parts team confirms if your model carries this feature.

Dark grey tint on rear windows provides privacy and reduces interior heat and glare.
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.
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.
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.

A TV-reception aerial printed into the rear window, typically for in-car entertainment systems.
A TV antenna is an aerial pattern laminated into the rear windscreen or rear side window to receive broadcast television signals. It's a separate system from the vehicle's radio or mobile antenna and is typically found in vehicles equipped with rear-seat entertainment systems. The antenna is printed directly onto or into the glass during manufacture, so when the glass is replaced, the antenna pattern must be reproduced on the replacement to maintain reception quality.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook for rear-seat entertainment or TV tuner capability. If your car has a rear-seat entertainment system with a TV tuner, the rear window will have a TV antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre to confirm whether your vehicle has this feature.
When the rear window is replaced, the replacement glass must include the matching TV antenna print to preserve reception. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass is typically required to ensure the antenna pattern is identical. The antenna is passive and requires no calibration or specialist procedures after fitting. Cure time for bonded rear glass is required; the fitter will confirm the drive-away time on the day.
The Volvo V40 has been in continuous production since 1996, evolving through multiple generations with steadily more sophisticated glass specifications.
Earlier models carry straightforward toughened rear windows, whilst later V40s from the mid-2010s onwards feature green-tinted glass, integrated brake lights, and factory-fitted encapsulation that arrives pre-sealed to the frame.
From around 2014–2015, Volvo's IntelliSafe safety suite introduced forward-facing cameras on some variants, though rear windows themselves remain unaffected by ADAS calibration — a straightforward fit across the range.
