The Clarus has a single active variant in our catalogue, so pricing is consistent across the range. The main factor affecting cost is glass availability — parts for this model are over 25 years old and must be sourced from specialist suppliers. Sourcing time may be longer than for more recent vehicles, but the absence of ADAS calibration keeps the fitting process straightforward.

You'll be matched with an approved fitter in your area who specialises in glass replacement.
On the day, your fitter will confirm the windscreen matches your factory spec — blue sun strip, green tint, laminated safety glass — then fit it. Typical technician time is 45–90 minutes depending on your vehicle's condition.
Your fitter confirms the drive-away time before you leave; your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
From booking to hitting the road, most jobs complete within a couple of hours.
The Clarus windscreen can be fitted at your home or at a workshop — your choice. Because this model has no ADAS camera or calibration requirement, the fitting is straightforward and mobile replacement is perfectly suitable. The fitter works at your address, confirms the drive-away time, and you're ready to go. A workshop visit is unnecessary unless you prefer the convenience of bringing the car to them.

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.
The Kia Clarus was produced from 1997 to 2000 as a compact saloon for the European market, representing Kia's early push into mainstream segments. Its windscreen features a blue sun strip — a tinted gradient band across the top that reduces glare without affecting your main field of view — paired with a subtle green tint across the entire pane, characteristic of this era's glass production.
As a late-1990s model, the Clarus predates modern ADAS systems; your windscreen carries no forward-facing camera or electronic sensors. This simplifies replacement significantly — no calibration is needed after the glass is fitted. Replacement focuses on matching the factory specification for tint and sun-strip detail, ensuring the replacement performs the same optical role as the original.
