Pricing varies based on whether the variant includes heated windscreen technology—models with this feature carry a modest premium due to the additional wiring and control elements. Encapsulation is standard across all XK1s, which simplifies the replacement process and keeps costs consistent. The green-tinted glass and rain sensor are also universal, so variant-to-variant differences are minimal.
| Year | Price range | Variants | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | £584 — £964 | 2 variants | Price my 2008 |
| 2007 | £584 — £964 | 2 variants | Price my 2007 |
| 2006 | £584 — £964 | 2 variants | Price my 2006 |
The displayed range is an indicator — the final price is produced by the quote form after you confirm your variant. Older XK1s can still be booked.

Booking your XK1 windscreen replacement through UK Car Glass is straightforward and takes just a couple of minutes.
Answer a short quiz about your XK1 (year, trim, and features) to confirm the exact specification.
Receive an instant quote and choose a convenient date and location—mobile fitting at your home or a workshop visit, whichever suits you.
Our team matches you with a local specialist in your area who has the right glass and equipment.
Your fitter arrives at the agreed time, removes the damaged windscreen, fits the replacement glass, and confirms the drive-away time before leaving.
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
From quote to booking takes under two minutes; fitting typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on the condition of the frame.
The XK1 has no ADAS camera system, so windscreen replacement is mobile-friendly and can typically be completed at your home or workplace. Your specialist will assess the pinch-weld (the metal frame where the glass bonds) on the day and may recommend a workshop visit if corrosion is present, as proper adhesive bonding requires sound metalwork.
Most XK1 jobs proceed smoothly at a convenient mobile location; workshop visits are the exception rather than the rule.

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.
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.
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 Jaguar XK1 was produced from 2006 to 2008 as a two-seater sports car, featuring a modern windscreen design with integrated features typical of Jaguar's luxury positioning during that era.
All XK1 variants in our catalogue come fitted with encapsulation (a pre-bonded rubber gasket), a green-tinted windscreen, rain sensors for automatic wiper control, and a VIN notch along the bottom edge. Around half of the variants also feature heated windscreen technology, adding extra comfort for UK winter driving.
None of the XK1 models in our system are equipped with ADAS cameras, so windscreen replacement is straightforward without the need for post-fit calibration.
