FIAT 500L windscreen price, by year
Price variation depends primarily on whether your 500L carries ADAS camera equipment and which generation you own. Earlier models without driver-assist systems are the most straightforward fits. Newer models with the Co-Driver camera system require post-fit calibration, adding complexity and technician time.
Additional features like rain sensors, VIN notches, and acoustic glass are factored into your quote, but the biggest cost driver is ADAS presence.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your 500L?
Most Fiat 500L windscreen replacements can be fitted mobile at your address. However, if your 500L carries the Co-Driver ADAS camera system, static camera calibration is required after the glass is fitted.
Static calibration uses target boards in a controlled environment and must be completed at a workshop — it cannot be done safely on a driveway. In this case, the entire job (replacement plus calibration) is scheduled at the workshop, ensuring the safety-critical camera geometry is restored properly. Your fitter will confirm whether your specific variant needs workshop calibration during the parts check.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Acoustic (Noise reduction)4
2012–2022Acoustic glass reduces cabin noise for a quieter, more comfortable ride.
What it means
Acoustic windscreen glass is laminated with a special acoustic interlayer that absorbs and dampens sound vibrations. It reduces exterior noise—from traffic, wind, and road surface—before it enters the passenger compartment. This makes the cabin noticeably quieter and creates a more peaceful driving experience. It's a comfort feature, not a safety one; standard laminated windscreens already meet impact safety requirements.
How to tell
Check your windscreen for an ear symbol, the word 'Acoustic', a capital 'A', or the term 'SoundScreen' printed in one of the four corners. These markings indicate acoustic-grade glass. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre whether your model came fitted with acoustic glass—it's often a factory option on comfort or premium trims.
Replacement impact
Acoustic glass is always laminated and bonds to the frame like any standard windscreen, so replacement follows the normal bonded-glass procedure. No specialist calibration is required. The replacement technician will fit it using standard adhesive and sealant. Cure time and drive-away restrictions are identical to standard laminated windscreens. Acoustic glass is widely available as an aftermarket OE-equivalent option.
Green4
2012–2022Green 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.
Right Hand Drive Part4
2012–2022A glass variant made specifically for right-hand-drive vehicles like UK cars, with brackets and sensors positioned for the driver's side.
What it means
Right-hand-drive glass is a windscreen (or other glass panel) manufactured to the correct specification for vehicles where the steering wheel and driver controls are on the right side of the car. The key difference isn't the glass itself but the position of brackets, sensor mounting pads, and sometimes a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) notch. These are placed on the dashboard side to align with right-hand-drive vehicle architecture. Using the correct variant ensures all safety systems, mounting points, and sensor arrays sit in the right place when the glass is fitted.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or service handbook — it will confirm 'RHD' (right-hand drive). Ask your dealership or service centre which windscreen variant they stock for your model. If you're unsure, provide us with your registration number when you book; we'll identify the correct part.
Replacement impact
UKCG stocks the UK-specific right-hand-drive variant, so all brackets, sensors, and mounting points align correctly during fitting. Using a left-hand-drive part on a right-hand-drive vehicle would result in misalignment of camera brackets, rain sensors, or other dashboard-mounted components. We confirm you receive the correct RHD variant before dispatch.
Vin Notch4
2012–2022A printed VIN reference box along the bottom edge of your windscreen helps identify your vehicle's chassis number at a glance.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Rain Sensor3
2012–2022No calibration after replacementYour wipers automatically activate when rain falls on the windscreen.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Encapsulation2
2012–2022Factory-bonded rubber or polymer trim means your replacement glass arrives ready to fit as one complete unit.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Bracket For Safety Features1
2018–2022Calibration varies by vehicleThe moulded trim that surrounds your camera and sensor cluster at the top of the windscreen, typically transferred or supplied with replacement glass.
What it means
A bracket for safety features is the moulded plastic or composite shroud that sits at the top of the windscreen, framing and protecting the camera and sensor cluster mounted behind the rear-view mirror. This trim cover houses forward-facing driver-assistance cameras and sensors — equipment that monitors the road ahead for lane-keeping, collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and similar safety functions. The bracket itself is part of the vehicle's structural frame, but the trim cover you see is what protects and aesthetically integrates the technology into the windscreen area.
How to tell
Look at the top centre of your windscreen, just above or around the rear-view mirror. If you see a dark moulded shroud or trim panel — often rectangular or tapered — with a visible lens or sensor window, your vehicle has a bracket for safety features. Your service history or handbook will list any ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) technologies fitted. Ask your dealer or service centre if your vehicle has forward-facing cameras or sensors; if it does, you have a bracket for safety features.
Replacement impact
On windscreen replacement, the trim cover is typically transferred from your old glass to the new one, or supplied pre-integrated with the replacement depending on the variant. This means minimal disruption to your safety system during the swap. However, if the bracket requires recalibration after glass replacement — which depends on your specific vehicle and camera type — the job may require static calibration (using a target board) or dynamic calibration (a road drive). We confirm the exact calibration procedure when we look up your vehicle.
Camera1
2018–2022Calibration varies by vehicleA camera mounted near the rear-view mirror monitors the road ahead for lane-keep and traffic-sign features.
What it means
A forward-facing camera positioned in the windscreen header area (typically mounted on or near the rear-view mirror bracket) captures video of the road ahead. This camera feeds data to driver-assistance systems such as lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, and traffic-sign recognition. The camera is a core component of modern ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and requires precise alignment after windscreen replacement to ensure these safety features function correctly.
How to tell
Look for a small dark triangular or lens-shaped component mounted in the black plastic trim area above the windscreen, typically centred near the rear-view mirror or slightly to one side. Your vehicle's handbook or infotainment menu may reference 'Lane Assist', 'Traffic Sign Recognition', or 'Autonomous Emergency Braking'. Ask your dealer or service centre directly if your car is equipped with a forward-facing camera system.
Replacement impact
Windscreen replacement on camera-equipped vehicles requires calibration of the camera system after the new glass is fitted. The exact calibration procedure—whether static (using a target board in a controlled environment) or dynamic (road-based)—varies by vehicle make, model, and year. We confirm the precise calibration requirement when we look up your specific vehicle. Calibration ensures lane-keep, sign recognition, and emergency-braking systems function safely. This may extend the fitting schedule and may necessitate workshop-based fitting rather than mobile attendance.
Fitting Hardware1
2018–2022Pre-fitted clips and brackets that secure the glass to your vehicle, supplied ready to bond as a complete unit.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Other Hardware1
2012–2022Factory-fitted brackets and mounts bonded to the glass, pre-assembled and ready to fit without sub-assembly.
What it means
Other Hardware refers to factory-fitted brackets, mounts, connectors, or trim pieces bonded permanently to the windscreen or other glass during manufacturing. These are integral to the vehicle's design but do not activate or control a specific feature — they simply secure or position components like sensors, trim strips, or mounting points. Unlike feature-specific hardware, these items are passive structural elements. A replacement carrying Other Hardware arrives pre-bonded and ready to install without additional assembly or modification.
How to tell
Check your vehicle documentation or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen or glass panel carries factory-bonded brackets or mounts. Visual inspection may reveal trim strips, sensor housings, or antenna mounts bonded to the edges or interior surface of the glass. Your original invoice or parts list will specify if Other Hardware is present.
Replacement impact
Replacement glass carrying Other Hardware must be sourced as a complete assembly — the brackets and mounts come pre-bonded from the supplier and cannot be transferred from the old glass. Installation is straightforward: the fitter removes the old glass and fits the replacement with its hardware already in place. No additional sub-assembly, bonding, or recalibration of the hardware itself is required. Fitting time is unaffected.
Solar Control1
2012–2022Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
About the FIAT 500L
The Fiat 500L has been in continuous production since 2012, offering practicality and family-focused design across its decade-long run. All current variants in our catalogue carry acoustic windscreen glass and green-tinted glazing as standard, reducing road noise and managing solar heat.
From the mid-2010s onwards, rain sensors appeared on most variants, automating wiper activation in wet weather. VIN notches — showing the vehicle's chassis number along the windscreen's lower edge — are fitted to three-quarters of the range.
From 2020 onwards, select models introduced Fiat's Co-Driver ADAS suite with forward-facing camera systems for driver assistance. Windscreen replacement on these variants requires camera recalibration after fitting to restore safety geometry.
