Daihatsu Charade windscreen price, by year
Replacement costs vary primarily by generation and whether a blue sun strip is present. Earlier Charades with standard blue-tinted laminated glass are the most accessible to source, whilst models with the blue sun strip variant require the exact laminate specification to match the original appearance. Availability improves for cars within the mid-1990s to early-2000s range due to higher production volumes.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Charade?
Virtually all Charade windscreen replacements can be done at your home or workplace on a mobile basis — the Charade predates widespread ADAS camera fitment, so no calibration is required after replacement. If you'd prefer a workshop visit for convenience, or if weather makes a mobile fit impractical on the day, let your fitter know at booking and they'll arrange a suitable workshop slot instead.

Blue4
1983–2001Blue-tinted windscreens reduce glare and heat while maintaining a subtle, modern appearance.
What it means
A blue tint is a light coloration applied to the windscreen glass, usually during manufacture. It reduces solar heat transmission and glare from sunlight, particularly on bright days or when driving into the sun. The tint is integral to the glass itself — not a separate film — and is chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance comfort, visibility, and aesthetic consistency with the vehicle's side windows and rear window. Most vehicles come with a green or blue tint as standard; the choice depends on the manufacturer's design and regional climate considerations.
How to tell
Check your side windows by rolling one halfway down and holding a white piece of paper behind the glass. If you see a blue tint reflected in the glass, your windscreen will have the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen tint specification. The tint is visible when comparing the windscreen to clear glass, though it may be subtle and harder to spot on overcast days.
Replacement impact
Blue-tinted replacement windscreens must match the original tint to maintain visual consistency with your side and rear windows. Most replacement glass is available in the correct tint through OE (original equipment) suppliers. There is no calibration requirement related to tint. The tint does not affect fitting time, cure time, or drive-away schedules. Ensure the replacement windscreen is specified with the blue tint to avoid a mismatched appearance.
Blue Sun Strip1
1994–2001A blue-tinted gradient band across the top of your windscreen that reduces glare without affecting your view of the road.
What it means
A blue sun strip is a tinted gradient band built into the upper edge of your windscreen's laminate layer. It reduces glare from sunlight reflecting off the road and bonnet without darkening your main field of vision. The tint is created during manufacture as part of the glass laminate itself — it cannot be added or removed later. Sun strips are a windscreen-only feature; rear and side windows cannot carry this effect because they use tempered rather than laminated glass.
How to tell
Look at the top of your windscreen from inside the car — you'll see a distinct blue-tinted band running horizontally across the upper portion. Check your vehicle's specification sheet or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen is listed as a 'blue sun strip' or 'tinted sun strip' variant. Your invoice or parts manual will confirm it.
Replacement impact
When replacing a windscreen with a blue sun strip, the replacement must be the sun-strip variant — a standard plain windscreen will not replicate the tinted band. Your replacement glass is sourced as an exact match to your original specification. There are no additional calibration or cure implications beyond a standard windscreen replacement. Fitting and drive-away times remain unchanged.
About the Daihatsu Charade
The Daihatsu Charade is a compact city car that remained in production from 1983 to 2001, spanning multiple generations with consistent appeal to budget-conscious drivers across the UK and Europe. Throughout its lifespan, the Charade carried straightforward laminated windscreens, with some variants featuring a subtle blue-tinted glass as standard — a sun-protective feature that's barely visible but significantly reduces glare and UV exposure.
Earlier generations used simple laminated windscreens without additional technology, while later models in the 1990s onwards sometimes included a blue sun strip — a gradient tint band across the top of the windscreen that cuts glare without affecting your main field of vision. The Charade predates the widespread adoption of ADAS camera systems in Daihatsu's compact range, so windscreen replacement is straightforward without calibration complexity.
