Pricing varies based on whether your XJ8 carries a heated windscreen option and the specific silkscreen configuration. Heated-windscreen variants require more complex replacement due to the integrated heating elements. Variants with silkscreen modifications require their own part number to ensure proper compatibility with your vehicle's sensor layout.

Our team matches you with an approved fitter in your area, typically within 24–48 hours.
The fitter arrives at your chosen location (mobile or workshop) with your replacement windscreen, pre-checked against your exact specification.
Fitting typically takes 45–90 minutes of the technician's time, depending on your vehicle's condition.
Your fitter will confirm the minimum drive-away time before they leave, derived from the adhesive used and ambient conditions.
Your replacement is backed by a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
The XJ8 is fitted as standard with mobile replacement at your address — our approved fitters arrive with your windscreen and complete the job on your driveway or in your workplace car park.
No ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance) calibration is required on XJ8 models, so the fit is straightforward and doesn't require workshop facilities. If weather is poor or you prefer a workshop setting, you can choose this at booking — either way, the process is the same.

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.
A modified black-printed area around the rear-view mirror to suit your vehicle's camera or sensor layout.
Silkscreen modification refers to a variation in the black-printed area (called the 'frit') that surrounds the rear-view mirror on your windscreen. This printed zone is shaped to accommodate your vehicle's specific camera, sensor, or ADAS equipment layout. Different vehicles — even within the same model range — may have different camera positions or sensor configurations, requiring a bespoke print pattern. A silkscreen-modified windscreen is a distinct part with its own part number and cannot be used interchangeably with the standard print variant.
Check your windscreen documentation or the original part number — dealership service records will confirm whether your windscreen carries a modified silkscreen. You can also ask your dealer's parts department to confirm the exact print variant for your vehicle's year and specification. The modification itself is visible as the black-printed border around the mirror area, but identifying whether it's 'modified' requires checking the part number rather than visual inspection alone.
When your windscreen requires replacement, we must source the correct silkscreen variant for your specific vehicle to ensure proper camera and sensor clearance. Using an incorrect print variant could obstruct camera fields of view or interfere with sensor operation, compromising ADAS functionality and safety. We confirm the exact part number during the booking process to guarantee the correct glass is supplied and fitted. No additional calibration is triggered by the silkscreen modification itself; any calibration needed relates to the camera or sensor system, not the print.
The Jaguar XJ8 was produced from 1993 to 2003, spanning a single generation of luxury executive saloon. Its windscreen features the distinctive VIN notch marking the vehicle identification number along the bottom edge, a signature detail across XJ8 variants.
Half of the XJ8 variants in our catalogue carry heated windscreens, an optional luxury feature designed to clear frost and condensation quickly in colder weather. All XJ8 windscreens carry a subtle green tint, nearly invisible to the eye but essential for UV protection and interior comfort.
Some later XJ8 models feature silkscreen modifications around the rear-view mirror area, indicating changes to sensor or camera mounting points. These are distinct part numbers and cannot be swapped with the standard print variant.
