Citroen C1 windscreen replacement — booked online.

You don't need to know. Our online widget asks a few quick questions — make, model, year, and a couple of feature details — to narrow the variant down. Once booked, our parts check team verifies the exact specification against your VIN before the job is dispatched.

Almost always, yes, where a forward-facing camera is fitted. The technicians in our network include ADAS-calibration-certified specialists — we confirm whether your job needs a workshop or can complete on your driveway when we book.

Your replacement glass matches your original factory specification — same size, features and trim fitment as the glass the car left the factory with. It's UK-approved for the road and typically supplied by tier-1 manufacturers like Pilkington, Saint-Gobain, and AGC.

OEM-branded glass (with the vehicle-maker logo) is available on request at a higher price.

Most windscreen replacements happen at your chosen location — home, office, or car park. Some jobs are better suited to a workshop — for example, windscreens with ADAS cameras needing static calibration, or where access to power, shelter, or controlled conditions makes the work safer indoors. We let you know when we confirm your booking.

Most windscreen replacements take 45–90 minutes of the technician's time. ADAS calibration extends the technician's time on the job, but cure time runs in parallel — so it doesn't usually delay when you can drive. Your technician will confirm exact timings on the day.

Most UK comprehensive policies include glass cover, typically with an excess of £75–£100. If your insurer is on our approved list, the specialist you're matched with bills them directly and you just pay the excess.

Otherwise you can pay UK Car Glass directly and claim back from your insurer — our all-inclusive price is often lower than the excess anyway, so paying direct can work out cheaper.

Two years on workmanship defects — water leaks, wind noise, bonding failures — from the date of replacement. If the specialist's work isn't right, we arrange to put it right under the warranty process.

Only some C1 variants from approximately 2020 onwards carry front cameras for Highway Driver Assist or Safety Pack Plus. If your C1 has one, you'll notice one or two small triangular shapes in the black field near the rear-view mirror. The quote process confirms this — you don't need to self-inspect.

If your C1 has a camera system for ADAS (lane keeping, adaptive cruise), yes — static calibration is essential after windscreen replacement to ensure safe operation. This is scheduled at a workshop and completed as part of the same appointment. Models without ADAS have no calibration requirement.

Earlier C1 models (2005–early 2010s) have simpler laminated windscreens and typically mobile-fit in 45–90 minutes. Newer C1s from around 2020 onwards feature camera-mounted windscreens and require workshop-based ADAS calibration, which extends the specialist's time on the job but doesn't affect your drive-away time because calibration runs in parallel with adhesive cure.

Your fitter will confirm the specific minimum drive-away time before they leave — typically based on the polyurethane adhesive product used and the day's ambient conditions. Driving before this time can compromise the bond. Calibration, if needed, runs in the background and doesn't extend your drive-away window.
