Had to replace the windscreen on our 18 year old car

Had to replace the windscreen on our 18 year old car because it had become dangerous due to thousands of micro chips. The low winter sun made it impossible to see out of. Searching online found UK Car Glass. The price was reasonable and I made an online booking for 2 days later. Unfortunately due to storms a nice lady from the company phoned me and asked if we could postpone fitting for 2 days till the weather cleared which was no problem. The fitter turned up as promised and the job was done within half an hour. Overall a good experience. UK Car Glass appear to be a nationwide company who sub contract to existing windscreen fitting companies. In view of this it may be worthwhile directly contacting a local firm first to check their pricing as it's possible they may be a bit cheaper because their won't be a middleman. However, I've no complaints. Ease of booking, communication etc is excellent.

Very happy with UK car glass. They offered the lowest quote and an online booking service. After an initial confirmation email, I heard nothing further for a week, so I called to check that my car was still booked in for a new windscreen. I was informed that it was and they would be in touch to confirm the ETA. The team kept me informed over the weekend, the technician called and updated me again on the day, and arrived when he said he would. The screen was changed efficiently and the technician was polite and helpful. I would use the company again and recommend UK car glass to others.

What to expect during your Ford C-Max windscreen replacement

Booking your C-Max windscreen replacement is straightforward.

  1. 1

    Answer a quick online quiz about your C-Max's year, trim, and features — takes about a minute.

  2. 2

    Receive an instant quote matched to your exact variant.

  3. 3

    Complete your booking in under two minutes and choose your fitting location (mobile or workshop).

  4. 4

    We match you with an approved fitter in your area and confirm your appointment.

  5. 5

    On fitting day, your fitter removes the damaged glass, inspects the frame, fits your new windscreen, and if your C-Max has a Co-Pilot360 camera, calibrates it afterwards — typically completes within a couple of hours.

  6. 6

    Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before you leave; your replacement is covered by a two-year warranty.

From quote to fitted glass, the entire process is coordinated by UKCG and carried out by trusted local specialists.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your C-Max?

Most C-Max windscreen replacements can be fitted at your home or workplace on a mobile basis. However, if your C-Max is equipped with Ford's Co-Pilot360 camera system (typically 2017+), the forward-facing camera requires static calibration after the glass is fitted — this must be carried out at a workshop with the proper diagnostic equipment and target boards.

When calibration is required, your entire job (replacement and calibration) is scheduled at one workshop location. This keeps your experience seamless and ensures your safety-critical camera systems are properly recalibrated before you drive away.

We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

    2003–2019

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 15 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (75%); model years 2003–2019.

    What it means

    A solar-absorbing coating that blocks the sun's infrared rays, helping to keep the cabin cooler and reducing air-conditioning load.

    On your Ford C-Max

    Present on about half of C-Max variants, especially those with premium trim packs; confirmed during the quote.

  • Rain Sensor14
    2003–2019No calibration after replacement

    What it means

    A specially bonded laminate that dampens road and wind noise, improving cabin quietness — marked by the word 'Acoustic' or 'SoundScreen' in the corner.

    On your Ford C-Max

    Found on comfort-focused and higher-trim C-Max variants; confirmed at the parts check.

  • Light Sensor7
    2012–2019

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 7 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (35%); model years 2012–2019.

    Light sensors automatically turn your headlights on at dusk or in tunnels; the replacement windscreen must include the sensor bracket.

    What it means

    A light sensor is a small optical detector mounted on the windscreen or dashboard that monitors ambient light levels. When light drops below a threshold—at dusk or when entering a tunnel—it triggers your headlights to switch on automatically. This removes the need to manually operate the lights and improves safety by ensuring visibility when conditions darken suddenly. The sensor is typically mounted behind the windscreen's top edge or integrated into the interior mirror housing, where it has an unobstructed view of the sky.

    How to tell

    Check your vehicle's handbook or ask your dealer whether your car has automatic headlight control or 'auto lights' as a feature. If equipped, you'll see a symbol on the stalk or dashboard dial marked with a light-bulb icon or 'AUTO' setting. When you select this mode and the ambient light dims, the headlights activate without manual input. Not all cars have this feature; it's typically found on newer or higher-specification models.

    Replacement impact

    When replacing a windscreen on a vehicle with a light sensor, the replacement glass must include the correct sensor bracket or mounting point to preserve the auto-headlight function. The sensor itself does not require software calibration—it relies on physical positioning behind the windscreen's upper trim or within the mirror assembly. Ensuring the bracket is correctly installed during the fit is essential; if omitted, the auto-light feature will fail and cannot be restored without additional parts and labour.

  • Vehicle Emergency Messaging4
    2012–2019

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 4 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (20%); model years 2012–2019.

    Emergency messaging systems alert the emergency services immediately after a serious crash, reducing response time.

    What it means

    An emergency messaging system (sometimes called a 'Mayday' system) is an in-vehicle safety feature that automatically detects a serious collision and transmits emergency location data to the relevant emergency services. When a major impact is detected, the system sends the vehicle's precise GPS coordinates and other crash details to emergency responders, reducing the critical time between the accident and the arrival of medical assistance. This technology is designed to save lives by ensuring rapid response, particularly in situations where the occupants may be unconscious or unable to make a call themselves.

    How to tell

    Check your vehicle's user manual or infotainment system for emergency call or 'eCall' settings. Many vehicles display an emergency services icon in the dashboard menu or settings. You can also ask your dealership or service centre directly whether your model includes this feature — they'll confirm it's present and explain how to register or activate it if needed.

    Replacement impact

    Emergency messaging systems typically involve a control module or sensors in the vehicle structure, but do not require calibration or special handling during windscreen replacement. The system remains fully functional after glass replacement. No cure-time implications or OE-only glass sourcing is triggered by this feature. Standard replacement procedures apply.

  • Clear3
    2003–2019Calibration varies by vehicle

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 3 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (15%); model years 2003–2019; calibration varies by vehicle.

    Clear windscreen glass has no tint; most cars have a slight tint as standard.

    What it means

    A clear windscreen contains no added tint layer. Most modern windscreens incorporate a subtle tint (typically blue, green, grey or bronze) as standard to reduce glare, provide UV protection, and improve cabin comfort. A genuinely clear windscreen is the absence of this tint. Clear glass is less common than tinted variants and is sometimes specified for aesthetic or operational reasons, though the tint difference is usually imperceptible to the naked eye.

    How to tell

    Lower your side window halfway and hold a white piece of paper behind it. If you see a noticeable colour cast (blue, green, grey or bronze) in the side glass, your windscreen has the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen specification in your service records.

    Replacement impact

    Clear windscreen replacement uses the same installation process as any other windscreen. No special calibration or extended cure time applies. Sourcing is straightforward — clear glass is widely available as an aftermarket replacement. Installation time and drive-away restrictions follow standard windscreen replacement timings. If your vehicle has ADAS features (forward-facing camera or radar), calibration may be required after replacement depending on your specific vehicle; we confirm this when we look up your car details.

  • Coating3
    2003–2019

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 3 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (15%); model years 2003–2019.

    Coated windscreens have a blue or purple tint and protect your car from UV rays and heat.

    What it means

    A coated windscreen has a special protective layer applied to the glass that appears as a blue or purple tint and often reflects a silvery-blue colour in bright sunlight. This coating is designed to reduce the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and solar heat that enters the vehicle, helping to keep the interior cooler and protecting upholstery and dashboard components from UV damage and fading. The coating is integral to the glass and doesn't require any special maintenance from you.

    How to tell

    Look at your windscreen in bright daylight — a coated windscreen will show a distinct blue or purple tint and a silvery-blue reflection when the sun hits it directly. Check your vehicle's service booklet or window sticker (usually on the driver's door jamb), which may list the glass specification. Alternatively, ask your dealership or service centre to confirm whether your windscreen carries a UV or heat-rejection coating.

    Replacement impact

    When replacing a coated windscreen, the replacement glass must match the original specification — including the coating type and tint level — to maintain the same UV and heat protection and to preserve the vehicle's interior aesthetics. Original-equipment or equivalent aftermarket coated glass is sourced to specification. The coating is applied during glass manufacture; no post-fit treatment is required. Fitting and cure times are unaffected by the presence of the coating.

  • Bracket For Safety Features2
    2012–2019Calibration varies by vehicle

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 2 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (10%); model years 2012–2019; calibration varies by vehicle.

    The 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.

    2012–2019Calibration varies by vehicle

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 2 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (10%); model years 2012–2019; calibration varies by vehicle.

    Dynamic calibration uses road driving to recalibrate your camera after windscreen replacement.

    What it means

    Dynamic camera calibration is a procedure in which a technician drives the vehicle on marked roads at set speeds after the windscreen has been fitted and the adhesive has cured. During this drive, the forward-facing camera relearns its reference points — lane markings, road signs, road edges and surrounding traffic patterns — so it can resume accurate operation of camera-dependent safety and driver-assistance systems. This recalibration is necessary because any windscreen replacement, even with precision fitting, can introduce small shifts in the camera's optical alignment relative to the road.

    How to tell

    Check your vehicle's handbook or contact your dealer to confirm whether your car has a forward-facing camera system. If it does, ask the dealer whether your specific model requires dynamic (road-drive) or static (target-board) calibration after windscreen replacement. You can also ask your fitter — they will establish this when they look up your vehicle's specification.

    Replacement impact

    After your windscreen is fitted and the bonding has cured, a technician will drive the vehicle on marked roads at controlled speeds to allow the camera to relearn its environment. This extends the overall job duration beyond the glass-fitting time alone. Depending on your vehicle, calibration may be performed during the same visit or scheduled separately. We confirm the exact procedure and location (mobile or workshop) when we look up your specific vehicle.

  • LIDAR2
    2012–2019Bespoke calibration

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 2 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (10%); model years 2012–2019; bespoke calibration.

    LIDAR helps your car sense its surroundings for advanced safety and driver-assistance features.

    What it means

    LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a sensor technology that uses laser beams to detect objects, obstacles, and road features in three dimensions. It creates a detailed map of the vehicle's surroundings in real time, enabling advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and autonomous emergency braking. LIDAR complements camera and radar systems by providing precise distance and depth information, even in poor visibility or low-light conditions. It is increasingly fitted to modern vehicles as part of their safety and autonomous-capability infrastructure.

    How to tell

    Check your vehicle's handbook or contact your dealership to confirm LIDAR fitment. LIDAR sensors are typically mounted on the roof, bumpers, or within the windscreen/rear-window frame area. You may see reference to 'LIDAR', 'laser radar', or specific safety-feature names (e.g. 'adaptive cruise control', 'autonomous emergency braking') that rely on LIDAR in your documentation.

    Replacement impact

    If your windscreen or rear window houses or frames a LIDAR sensor, replacement requires careful handling to preserve or recalibrate the sensor post-fit. LIDAR calibration procedures vary significantly by vehicle make, model, and year—some require static alignment using specialist target equipment, others demand dynamic road-drive procedures, and some use a combination. We identify the exact calibration requirement when we look up your specific vehicle and confirm it with you before booking.

  • Mono Camera2
    2012–2019Calibration varies by vehicle

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 2 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (10%); model years 2012–2019; calibration varies by vehicle.

    A single camera mounted near the rear-view mirror that helps with lane-keeping and collision avoidance.

    What it means

    A mono camera is a single-lens camera positioned behind the windscreen, typically in the upper centre area near the rear-view mirror. It captures the road ahead and uses computer vision to detect lane markings, vehicles, and road hazards. The camera feeds data to driver-assistance systems such as lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and forward-collision warning. It forms the visual foundation of these safety features, allowing the vehicle to monitor road position and surrounding traffic automatically.

    How to tell

    Look in the black trim area above the windscreen, centred behind the rear-view mirror — you will see a small triangular lens assembly or dark lens cover. Check your vehicle handbook or ask your dealer's service department to confirm your model has lane-assistance or collision-warning features; vehicles with these systems almost always have a mono camera. Dashboard warning symbols related to lane or collision systems also indicate the presence of this camera.

    Replacement impact

    When the windscreen is replaced, the camera bracket and lens assembly must be removed and carefully repositioned on the new glass. The camera may require calibration after fitting to ensure accurate road detection and lane recognition. Calibration needs vary by vehicle — we confirm the exact procedure when we look up your specific vehicle. The job may take longer than a standard windscreen replacement, and workshop facilities may be required if calibration demands a controlled environment.

  • Blue1
    2007–2011

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 1 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (5%); model years 2007–2011.

    Blue-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.

  • Grey Sun Strip1
    2003–2011

    On the Ford C-Max: fitted on 1 of the 20 windscreen variants we list (5%); model years 2003–2011.

    A grey-tinted band across the top of your windscreen that reduces glare from sunlight and reflections above.

    What it means

    A grey sun strip is a tinted gradient band built into the top edge of the windscreen during manufacture. It sits within the laminated glass layers and gradually fades from opaque grey at the very top to clear further down. The strip is designed to reduce glare and reflections from sunlight, street lights, and oncoming headlights, improving comfort and visibility for the driver without obstructing the view of traffic signals or overhead hazards. Sun strips are a factory-applied feature unique to windscreens—they cannot be added to side or rear glass because those are typically toughened rather than laminated.

    How to tell

    Look at the top of your windscreen from inside the vehicle. You will see a grey-tinted band that fades to clear glass. The tint is gradual and integral to the glass itself, not a removable film or coating. Your vehicle's service records or handbook may also list it as a standard feature. If unsure, ask your dealer or service centre whether your specific model includes a sun strip.

    Replacement impact

    When replacing a windscreen with a sun strip, the replacement glass must be sourced in the exact matching variant—including the sun-strip tint and fade profile. Aftermarket and OE glass are both available for most vehicles, but the variant must be correct to match your original. There is no calibration required for the sun strip itself. If your windscreen also carries camera or sensor features, those will be calibrated separately according to your vehicle's needs.

About the Ford C-Max

The Ford C-Max has been in continuous production since 2003, evolving through two main generations and numerous facelifts. Early C-Max models carry straightforward laminated windscreens with basic fitment hardware, while later variants from the mid-2010s onwards feature rain sensors, heated options, and solar-control glass to manage cabin temperature and glare.

From around 2017, Ford began integrating its Co-Pilot360 driver assistance suite on newer C-Max models, which includes a forward-facing windscreen camera for adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. These later variants require camera calibration after windscreen replacement — a process that runs in parallel with adhesive cure, so it doesn't extend your drive-away time.

Some Ford C-Max windscreens carry a camera that may need recalibrating after fitting. Read about ADAS calibration.

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 if your C-Max is equipped with Ford's Co-Pilot360 camera system, which is found on newer models from around 2017 onwards. Calibration is confirmed during your quote; if required, it's carried out at a workshop after the glass is fitted and adhesive has cured.

Calibration runs in parallel with the adhesive cure time, so it doesn't delay your drive-away — your fitter will confirm the exact timing before you leave.

Early C-Max models (2003–2010) typically have basic laminated windscreens with simple fitment clips. Mid-range models (2010–2016) began adding rain sensors, heated options, and solar-control coatings for comfort. Later C-Max models (2017+) often include acoustic laminate, advanced tinting, and camera brackets for Co-Pilot360 systems.

Your fitter will match your exact variant at the quote stage, so you'll always receive the correct specification for your model year and trim.

Yes — about 42% of C-Max variants in our catalogue include acoustic laminate, which is most common on higher-trim and later-generation models. Acoustic glass dampens road and wind noise for a quieter cabin. Your specific variant will be confirmed during the quote process.

That depends on your C-Max's trim and year. Heated windscreens are fitted on about 54% of C-Max variants, and solar-control glass is present on about 50%. Your fitter will source the exact specification that matches your original during the parts check, so you'll have the same features you started with.
