Prices vary mainly by trim level and the presence of optional features like rain sensors or solar-control glass. Earlier 2009–2012 variants without these extras tend to be the most affordable option.
Models equipped with rain sensors or solar-control coating carry slightly higher costs due to the additional glass specification and any sensor-related fitment work — but neither feature requires post-fit calibration, keeping labour complexity minimal.

We match you with a trusted local technician in your area — you'll receive confirmation and a scheduling window.
On the day, your technician arrives at your preferred location (mobile at home or at a workshop nearby) with your factory-specification replacement glass.
The windscreen is removed and replaced with the new unit, complete with its encapsulated trim and fitting hardware — typically finished within 45–90 minutes of hands-on work, depending on your vehicle.
Your technician confirms the drive-away time before leaving, and you're covered by a two-year warranty on the glass and workmanship.
From instant quote to fitted windscreen, UK Car Glass takes the hassle out of finding a local specialist.
The C3 Picasso is well-suited to mobile windscreen replacement at your home or workplace — there's no ADAS camera system to calibrate, so no need for a workshop unless you prefer it.
Your technician can fit the new windscreen on your driveway, confirm the drive-away time, and you're done. If weather conditions are poor or you'd rather have the work done in a controlled environment, workshop appointments are available on request.

Factory-bonded rubber or polymer trim means your replacement glass arrives ready to fit as one complete unit.
Encapsulation is a rubber or polymer gasket moulded directly onto the glass edges during manufacturing. The trim is bonded to the glass at the factory — either by injection moulding, PU robot extrusion, or adhesive bonding. When you need a replacement, the entire panel arrives with its trim already attached, so the glass and gasket are replaced together as a single unit rather than as separate components.
Check your current windscreen or rear window edges. If you see a continuous rubber or polymer seal running around the perimeter that appears moulded or permanently bonded to the glass itself — rather than a separate trim clipped or screwed to the frame — your glass is encapsulated. Ask your dealer or service centre to confirm; they can also check your vehicle specification sheet.
Encapsulated glass simplifies replacement because there's no separate trim to remove, refit, or source. The bonded gasket is replaced as part of the glass unit, which reduces installation complexity and potential leak points. Cure time and drive-away procedures remain unchanged. No additional sourcing delays — encapsulated replacements are stocked as complete assemblies by most suppliers.
Pre-fitted clips and brackets that secure the glass to your vehicle, supplied ready to bond as a complete unit.
Fitting hardware comprises the clips, brackets, mouldings and adhesive retention components that hold the glass securely in place on your vehicle's frame. When your replacement glass is supplied with fitting hardware pre-attached, it arrives as a ready-to-install assembly rather than as bare glass requiring separate hardware attachment during the fit. This streamlines the replacement process and ensures correct positioning and fitment.
Check your vehicle's service history or contact your dealership service department with your registration number. They can confirm whether your glass comes with pre-fitted hardware as standard. Visually, pre-fitted hardware appears as clips or brackets already bonded or attached to the glass edges before it reaches the fitting technician.
Glass supplied with pre-fitted hardware typically requires no additional labour to attach clips or brackets during the fit, reducing technician time at the vehicle. The hardware must be in good condition and correctly positioned for the glass to seal and function properly. If hardware is damaged during removal of the old glass, replacement or repair of that hardware may be needed before the new glass can be fitted securely.
Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
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.
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.
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.
Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
Solar control is a coating applied to the windscreen that absorbs the sun's infrared radiation rather than allowing it to pass through into the cabin. This reduces solar heat gain, helping to keep the interior cooler and more comfortable, particularly in warm weather or direct sunlight. The coating is transparent to visible light, so it doesn't darken the windscreen or affect visibility. It's a passive thermal management feature that works continuously whenever the sun is shining on the glass.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or contact your dealership service centre to confirm whether solar control glass is fitted. Some manufacturers list it as 'solar control windscreen', 'heat-reflective glass', or 'thermal management glass'. It's a factory-fitted feature and won't be visibly obvious from outside the car — the coating is integral to the glass itself.
Solar control glass is a factory-fitted specification. When replacing the windscreen, a solar control variant must be sourced to match the original. This is a standard glass type with no special fitting implications or calibration requirements. Cure and drive-away times follow normal windscreen bonding procedures. Confirm with your fitter that the replacement glass includes solar control to maintain the original thermal performance.
A printed VIN reference box along the bottom edge of your windscreen helps identify your vehicle's chassis number at a glance.
A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) notch is a small printed or etched box positioned along the lower edge of the windscreen that displays your vehicle's chassis number. This reference marking is a manufacturing and administrative feature, allowing quick visual identification of the vehicle without needing to consult documents. It's particularly useful for service records, insurance claims, and vehicle registration purposes. The notch itself doesn't affect the structural integrity or safety performance of the glass.
Look along the bottom edge of your windscreen — typically in one of the lower corners — for a small rectangular box containing printed digits or characters. If you're uncertain, check your vehicle's service handbook or ask your dealership or service centre to confirm whether your model includes this feature.
When your windscreen is replaced, the new glass will retain the VIN notch printed or etched by the manufacturer. This is a standard feature on replacement windscreens for compatible vehicles and requires no additional work or adjustment. The notch does not affect glass fitting, cure time, or any post-replacement calibration procedures.
OEM glass is manufactured by your vehicle's original maker and meets exact factory specifications.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass is produced by the same manufacturer that supplied your vehicle when it was built. It matches your car's original windscreen or window precisely — same optical properties, tinting, coatings, and integration with any embedded features like cameras or sensors. OEM glass is the highest specification available and carries full manufacturer traceability.
Check your vehicle's service records or ask your dealership service centre whether your current glass is OEM or aftermarket. The dealership parts department can also confirm OEM availability for your specific make, model, and year. Some vehicles have OEM glass marked with manufacturer codes on the edge, though these aren't always visible after installation.
OEM glass typically costs more than aftermarket alternatives but guarantees perfect fitment and optical performance. Lead times may be longer because OEM stock is ordered directly from the vehicle manufacturer rather than held in local distributor inventory. If your vehicle has embedded features (cameras, sensors, coatings), OEM glass ensures compatibility. Calibration requirements remain unchanged — any ADAS or sensor calibration needed depends on your specific vehicle, not on whether glass is OEM or aftermarket.
Your wipers automatically activate when rain falls on the windscreen.
A rain sensor is a device mounted on or behind the windscreen that detects moisture and triggers the wiper system automatically. The sensor uses infrared light to measure water droplets on the glass surface and signals the vehicle's electrical system to engage the wipers without driver input. This feature improves safety in sudden downpours and reduces driver workload in variable weather conditions.
Check your windscreen for a small sensor unit, usually mounted near the top centre behind the glass or at the base of the mirror. Look for a small dark component or lens. If your vehicle has automatic wipers that activate without you toggling the stalk, you have a rain sensor. Ask your dealer or service centre to confirm; they can check your vehicle records or wiper module settings.
Rain sensors are non-structural elements and do not require recalibration after windscreen replacement. The sensor bracket or mounting may need careful removal and reinstallation to ensure it sits correctly behind the new glass. If the sensor itself is damaged during removal, a replacement unit may be needed. Your fitter will confirm the condition and refit or replace the sensor as part of the standard replacement procedure.
The Citroën C3 Picasso has been in production since 2009, serving as a compact MPV that blends practicality with French styling. Early models (2009–2013) featured straightforward laminated windscreens with green tinting, VIN notches, and encapsulated rubber trim as standard.
From the mid-2010s onwards, the C3 Picasso range introduced optional rain sensors and solar-control glass on higher trim levels, reducing cabin heat on sunny days. Both features are now common across the active catalogue variants.
None of the C3 Picasso models in our catalogue carry front-facing ADAS camera systems, so windscreen replacement is straightforward — no calibration complexity or camera bracket work is required, keeping fitting times predictable and costs lower than ADAS-equipped rivals.
