Excellent service from first enquiry…
Excellent service from first enquiry through to fitting. I was sceptical at first and carried out various checks. All proved positive. 11/10. Highly recommended.

Price variation depends on the specific variant's glass specification — whether the rear window is toughened or the less common laminated type, and the presence of tint or solar-control coatings. Earlier V90 models (2015–2018) typically carry simpler rear glass, while later variants may include laminated or acoustically enhanced options. Specialist hardware bonded to some variants also affects sourcing and fitting.

Booking your V90 rear-window replacement is straightforward — our widget gets you an instant quote, matched to your specific variant.
Answer a short quiz in the widget identifying your V90's year and features — takes about a minute.
Receive an instant quote and choose your appointment date and location (mobile at your address or at a workshop near you).
We match you with a local specialist from our network of approved fitters.
On the day, your fitter removes the shattered glass, clears accessible shards, and fits your replacement — typically 30–60 minutes of their time.
A shattered rear window leaves small glass fragments in hard-to-reach places; we recommend a professional valet afterwards for a thorough interior clean.
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Once fitted and confirmed for drive-away, your V90 is ready to use — backed by our two-year guarantee and supported by local technicians across the UK.
Most V90 rear-window replacements are completed at your address via mobile fitting — your specialist arrives with all tools and materials needed. A workshop visit is chosen by preference or when weather or access makes a mobile fit difficult.
Since the rear window carries no ADAS camera systems, no calibration is required — your fitter can complete the job and confirm drive-away time on the day, whether at home or at a workshop.

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.
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.
Laminated windscreens hold together when they crack, staying bonded to an inner layer rather than shattering into dangerous shards.
Laminated glass consists of two glass panes bonded to a tough plastic interlayer, usually polyvinyl butyral (PVB). When struck, the glass cracks but the interlayer holds the pieces in place, preventing the sharp shards that would scatter from tempered glass. This design prioritises occupant safety — the windscreen remains structurally sound even after impact, reducing the risk of ejection and keeping wind and weather out of the cabin. Laminated glass also provides sound dampening and blocks most ultraviolet light. All modern windscreens are laminated as standard.
Look at your windscreen edge-on — you'll see a thin darker line (the interlayer) sandwiched between the two glass panes. Tap the glass gently with your knuckle: laminated glass produces a duller, more solid sound compared to the sharper ring of tempered side or rear windows. Your service manual or dealer can confirm, but all production windscreens are laminated.
Laminated glass is bonded to the frame with structural adhesive, so cure time applies after replacement. Your windscreen is safety-critical — it contributes up to 30% of vehicle structural integrity and supports airbag deployment. The adhesive bond must fully cure before the vehicle is driven normally; your fitter will confirm the specific drive-away time before releasing the car. This is true whether or not your windscreen has camera or sensor features.
The Volvo V90 is a premium estate available since 2015, built on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture platform. Across its production run, the V90 has evolved through several specification levels, with rear windows varying in tint and glass composition to suit different trim packages.
Most V90 models carry toughened rear glass; however, some higher-specification variants feature laminated rear windows for improved acoustic insulation and safety. Rear glass may be tinted dark grey or subtle green depending on the variant and year, matching the factory tint of the front side windows.
From the mid-2010s onwards, Volvo's IntelliSafe suite introduced forward-facing camera systems for adaptive cruise and lane-keeping assistance. Camera bracket components are bonded to the windscreen, not the rear window, so rear-window replacement is straightforward.
