Prices vary primarily with generation — earlier Sonatas from the 1990s and 2000s without ADAS equipment typically carry lower replacement costs, whilst later models equipped with SmartSense camera systems incur calibration charges. Heated windscreen and heated wiper rest area options, found on premium trims, may also influence final pricing depending on availability and the technician's supply chain.

Booking your Hyundai Sonata windscreen replacement is straightforward and takes just a couple of minutes online.
Use the online quote widget to specify your Sonata's year, trim, and features — the system identifies your exact windscreen variant in under 60 seconds.
Review the quote and confirm your booking. You'll be matched with an approved fitter in your area who stocks the correct glass.
The fitter contacts you to arrange a time. If your Sonata has SmartSense ADAS, the job may be scheduled at a workshop so calibration can be completed after the glass is set.
On the day, the fitter replaces your windscreen — typically taking 45 to 90 minutes for non-ADAS models, or longer if camera calibration is required. Calibration runs in parallel with adhesive cure, so it doesn't extend your drive-away time.
Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before you leave and will provide aftercare guidance for the adhesive bond.
All replacements are covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
Most Sonata windscreen replacements can be carried out at your home or workplace as a mobile visit. However, if your Sonata is equipped with SmartSense ADAS (front-view camera for lane-keeping and collision avoidance), the replacement must take place at a workshop so that the camera can be properly calibrated after the glass is fitted using Hyundai's diagnostic equipment and dedicated calibration target.
This ensures SmartSense functions correctly and safely after the job is complete. Your fitter will confirm whether your variant requires calibration when they arrange the appointment.

A blue-tinted gradient band across the top of your windscreen that reduces glare without affecting your view of the road.
A blue sun strip is a tinted gradient band built into the upper edge of your windscreen's laminate layer. It reduces glare from sunlight reflecting off the road and bonnet without darkening your main field of vision. The tint is created during manufacture as part of the glass laminate itself — it cannot be added or removed later. Sun strips are a windscreen-only feature; rear and side windows cannot carry this effect because they use tempered rather than laminated glass.
Look at the top of your windscreen from inside the car — you'll see a distinct blue-tinted band running horizontally across the upper portion. Check your vehicle's specification sheet or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen is listed as a 'blue sun strip' or 'tinted sun strip' variant. Your invoice or parts manual will confirm it.
When replacing a windscreen with a blue sun strip, the replacement must be the sun-strip variant — a standard plain windscreen will not replicate the tinted band. Your replacement glass is sourced as an exact match to your original specification. There are no additional calibration or cure implications beyond a standard windscreen replacement. Fitting and drive-away times remain unchanged.
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.
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.
Heating elements embedded in the glass melt ice from your wipers and the bottom of your windscreen.
A heated wiper rest area uses electric heating elements embedded into the windscreen in the area where your wipers park when not in use. These elements warm the glass to prevent ice and frost from bonding to the wiper blades and the lower windscreen edge during cold weather. This reduces the effort needed to clear ice in the morning and helps protect your wipers from damage caused by frozen adhesion to the glass.
Check your windscreen's lower edge where the wipers rest — you may see faint heating lines or elements visible in the glass. Your handbook or service history will confirm the feature. You can also ask your dealer or service centre whether your vehicle is equipped with a heated wiper rest area.
When replacing a windscreen with a heated wiper rest area, the replacement glass must include the heating elements. Aftermarket and OE glazing suppliers offer this feature, but availability varies by vehicle. The heating system does not require calibration after replacement, though the technician will ensure the heating element connections are properly restored during installation.
The Hyundai Sonata has been in continuous production since 1988, evolving through multiple generations and establishing itself as a reliable mid-size saloon. Early models carry straightforward laminated windscreens with a blue sun strip and green tint, while later variants introduce heated windscreen and heated wiper rest area options on premium trims.
From around the mid-2010s onwards, Sonata models began incorporating Hyundai's SmartSense ADAS suite, which includes a front-view camera mounted to the windscreen for lane-keeping and forward collision avoidance. When the windscreen is replaced on these camera-equipped variants, the camera requires static calibration using Hyundai diagnostic software and a dedicated calibration target.
