What to expect during your Daihatsu Charade windscreen replacement

Booking your Charade windscreen replacement is straightforward — here's what happens from start to finish.

1. 1

   Answer a quick quiz about your Charade's year, trim, and features — takes about a minute to get an instant quote.

2. 2

   Our parts-check team verifies the exact windscreen variant (including any sun strip) needed for your car.

3. 3

   We match you with an approved fitter in your area who has the glass in stock and can visit at a time that suits you.

4. 4

   On fitting day, your fitter removes the damaged windscreen, cleans the frame, and installs your replacement glass with fresh adhesive.

5. 5

   Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before leaving — typically determined by the adhesive product used and ambient conditions.

6. 6

   You're covered by our two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.

Most Charade windscreen fits happen at your home or workplace; if you'd prefer a workshop visit instead, let us know at booking.

• Blue4

  1983–2001

  On the Daihatsu Charade: fitted on 4 of the 5 windscreen variants we list (80%); model years 1983–2001.

  What it means

  A subtle blue-tinted laminate that reduces glare and UV exposure — so faint it's easy to miss, but noticeable when you compare it to clear glass.

  On your Daihatsu Charade

  Confirmed during your quote — our parts team checks your exact Charade variant and identifies whether the original windscreen carries this tint.

• Blue Sun Strip1

  1994–2001

  On the Daihatsu Charade: fitted on 1 of the 5 windscreen variants we list (20%); model years 1994–2001.

  What it means

  A blue-tinted gradient band running across the top of the windscreen that softens overhead glare without affecting your main field of vision — built into the laminate itself.

  On your Daihatsu Charade

  Present on some mid-to-later Charade variants; your fitter will confirm at the parts check whether your model carries this feature, and the replacement will match it exactly.

• Green1

  2003–2007

  On the Daihatsu Charade: fitted on 1 of the 5 windscreen variants we list (20%); model years 2003–2007.

  Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.
