Price variation across FR-V windscreens is driven primarily by the presence of rain-sensor equipment and the generation within the 2004–2012 production window. Earlier models without rain sensors are typically the most affordable, whilst later variants with sensor technology carry slightly higher costs due to the additional bracket and wiring integration.
All FR-V windscreens must match the UK right-hand-drive specification to ensure dashboard sensor alignment and bracket positioning are correct.

The Honda FR-V, produced before modern ADAS systems became standard, does not require specialist camera calibration after windscreen replacement. This means mobile fitting at your home or address is the straightforward option for most FR-V owners.
Your fitter can carry out the replacement and check on mobile, typically within a couple of hours wall-clock time. Workshop visits are available if you prefer, but they are not a necessity for this model.

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.
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.
Your wipers automatically activate when rain falls on the windscreen.
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.
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.
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.
The Honda FR-V was produced from 2004 to 2012 as a compact multi-purpose vehicle combining family practicality with flexible seating. Its windscreen is a laminated safety glass design featuring a VIN notch along the bottom, identifying the chassis number.
Most FR-V variants are equipped with a green-tinted windscreen, a subtle solar-control tint present on around 90% of Honda glass. A significant portion of FR-V models also feature rain sensors that automatically trigger the wipers when moisture is detected, a convenience feature that became more common as the model progressed through its production run.
Since the FR-V predates modern ADAS systems like Honda Sensing, windscreen replacement focuses on matching the original laminated specification and ensuring the VIN notch and sensor positions are correctly aligned — particularly important on UK-market right-hand-drive variants.
