Pricing varies depending on whether your Cougar includes the heated windscreen option. Models without heated glass are the more straightforward replacement; those with heating elements require slightly more specialised handling during fitting. Both variants feature the same solar-control and VIN-notch specifications, so the primary cost driver is the heated element complexity.

Booking your Cougar windscreen replacement is straightforward and takes just minutes online.
Answer a short quiz about your Cougar (year, trim, features) — our system confirms the exact glass specification.
Receive an instant quote and choose your fitting date and location (mobile at home or workshop, depending on your preference).
We match you with an approved fitter in your area and confirm the appointment.
On fitting day, the fitter removes your damaged windscreen, clears the frame, and installs your replacement glass — typically taking 45–90 minutes of the fitter's time.
Your new windscreen is matched to your factory specification and is UK-approved for the road.
The fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before you leave, and your two-year warranty begins immediately.
From booking to fitting, the whole process is handled by our approved network — you just provide the quiz answers and choose your date.
Most Cougar windscreen replacements are completed mobile at your address. The Cougar does not carry forward-facing camera systems or ADAS calibration requirements from this era, so fitting can be done quickly without workshop tools.
If you prefer a workshop environment or live in a location where mobile access is difficult, we can arrange that too — discuss your preference when you book.

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.
Heated windscreens use embedded wires to quickly clear ice and condensation in cold weather.
A heated windscreen is integrated with a fine mesh of electrical wires embedded within the glass itself. When activated, these wires generate heat to warm the windscreen surface, helping to rapidly clear frost, ice, and condensation during cold or damp conditions. This feature improves visibility and safety in winter driving and reduces reliance on engine heat and demister air, which can be slower on very cold mornings.
Check your vehicle's handbook or contact your dealership service centre — they can confirm whether your model includes this feature. Look for a dashboard symbol (usually a windscreen icon with heat waves) when you activate the function, or check your infotainment settings for a heating or climate option linked to the windscreen. Some vehicles have a dedicated button on the stalk or console.
Heated windscreens require replacement glass to be of the correct heated specification — standard unheated glass cannot be fitted. The replacement glass must be sourced to match your vehicle's exact heated-wire configuration. Installation is straightforward, though the technician will confirm the heating element is functioning correctly after fitting. No calibration is required for this feature.
The Ford Cougar was produced from 1999 to 2002 as a compact, stylish coupe. Its windscreen is laminated and features a green tint — a standard thermal property of automotive glass that reduces solar heat gain.
All Cougar variants in our catalogue carry solar-control coating, which absorbs infrared rays to help keep the cabin cooler. A VIN notch (chassis identification box) runs along the lower edge of the windscreen on every Cougar model we service.
Approximately half of the Cougar range also features a heated windscreen with integrated heating wire mesh for rapid demisting in cold weather. This is an optional specification that appears on selected variants.
