Prices vary with generation and ADAS equipment. Early-1990s through early-2010s models without cameras are typically the most affordable. Mid-generation models introducing rain sensors and solar-control glass carry moderate variation. Late-model C-Class variants from 2022 onwards with Driver Assistance Package cameras and calibration requirements command higher costs due to the specialist recalibration procedure needed after fitting.

Our parts-check team confirms your glass specification matches your factory original before the technician is dispatched.
On fitting day, the technician removes the old windscreen, prepares the frame, and bonds your replacement glass in place — typically 45–90 minutes for standard variants.
If your C-Class has a forward-facing camera for ADAS (lane-keeping, collision warning), static calibration is performed at a workshop using diagnostic equipment and target boards.
Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before you leave — calibration runs in parallel with adhesive cure, so it doesn't extend the time before you can drive.
Every replacement comes with a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality, backed by Trustpilot-rated specialists in your area.
Most C-Class windscreen replacements can be fitted at your home or workplace via mobile appointment. However, if your car is equipped with a forward-facing camera for ADAS (lane-keeping assist, collision warning, traffic-sign recognition), the entire job is scheduled at a workshop.
This is because Mercedes-Benz mandates static calibration of the camera after replacement — a specialist procedure using diagnostic equipment and target boards that cannot be performed on a driveway. We do not split the job across locations, so replacement and calibration are completed together at the workshop to ensure safety-critical ADAS functions are properly restored.

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 zones around sensors prevent frost and moisture buildup, helping your safety systems work reliably.
A sensor heated zone is an electrical heating element integrated into or around camera, radar, or sensor mounts on the windscreen. Its purpose is to prevent frost, ice, condensation, and moisture accumulation on sensor lenses and housings. This keeps safety systems — such as lane-keeping assist, collision warning, and adaptive cruise control — functioning accurately in cold, wet, or foggy conditions. Without this heating, moisture or ice can obscure sensors and cause them to malfunction or deactivate.
Check your vehicle's handbook for mention of 'heated sensor zone' or 'sensor heating' in the windscreen or ADAS section. Look at the top edge of your windscreen where cameras or radar modules are mounted — you may see small heating elements or wiring near these components. Ask your dealership or service centre directly: they can confirm whether your specific model includes sensor heating as standard.
Windscreens with heated sensor zones require careful handling during replacement to preserve the heating element and its electrical connections. The heating circuit must be reconnected properly after the new glass is fitted. Depending on the vehicle, this may involve static or dynamic camera calibration after installation. We confirm the exact procedure — including any calibration needs — when we look up your vehicle details.

On the Mercedes C Class: fitted on 19 of the 48 windscreen variants we list (40%); model years 2007–2020; static calibration required.
After windscreen replacement, the forward-facing camera for lane-keeping and collision warning must be recalibrated using diagnostic targets — a specialist Mercedes procedure.
Required on C-Class models from 2022 onwards equipped with Driver Assistance Package; booked as a workshop slot to ensure calibration is completed correctly.

The moulded trim that surrounds your camera and sensor cluster at the top of the windscreen, typically transferred or supplied with replacement glass.
A bracket for safety features is the moulded plastic or composite shroud that sits at the top of the windscreen, framing and protecting the camera and sensor cluster mounted behind the rear-view mirror. This trim cover houses forward-facing driver-assistance cameras and sensors — equipment that monitors the road ahead for lane-keeping, collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and similar safety functions. The bracket itself is part of the vehicle's structural frame, but the trim cover you see is what protects and aesthetically integrates the technology into the windscreen area.
Look at the top centre of your windscreen, just above or around the rear-view mirror. If you see a dark moulded shroud or trim panel — often rectangular or tapered — with a visible lens or sensor window, your vehicle has a bracket for safety features. Your service history or handbook will list any ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) technologies fitted. Ask your dealer or service centre if your vehicle has forward-facing cameras or sensors; if it does, you have a bracket for safety features.
On windscreen replacement, the trim cover is typically transferred from your old glass to the new one, or supplied pre-integrated with the replacement depending on the variant. This means minimal disruption to your safety system during the swap. However, if the bracket requires recalibration after glass replacement — which depends on your specific vehicle and camera type — the job may require static calibration (using a target board) or dynamic calibration (a road drive). We confirm the exact calibration procedure when we look up your vehicle.

An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.
An antenna is a conductive print laminated into the glass during manufacture, typically used for radio, DAB (digital audio broadcasting) or television reception. It replaces the traditional roof-mounted aerial mast found on older vehicles. The antenna is integrated into the glass interlayer and connected to the vehicle's receiver unit via a connector embedded in the glass edge. This design offers a cleaner aesthetic, reduces wind noise, and eliminates the vulnerability of a protruding mast to damage or theft.
Check your vehicle's roof — if there is no visible aerial mast, your car likely has a laminated antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre whether your windscreen or rear window carries an antenna print. The connector may be visible on the glass edge or inside the door frame trim.
When replacing glass with a laminated antenna, the replacement must carry the matching antenna print and connector to restore reception immediately on fitting. Aftermarket or original-equipment glass with the correct antenna specification is essential; a plain replacement will leave you without radio or DAB signal. Our fitters verify the antenna specification during booking and source the correct variant before the appointment.

Light sensors automatically turn your headlights on at dusk or in tunnels; the replacement windscreen must include the sensor bracket.
A light sensor is a small optical detector mounted on the windscreen or dashboard that monitors ambient light levels. When light drops below a threshold—at dusk or when entering a tunnel—it triggers your headlights to switch on automatically. This removes the need to manually operate the lights and improves safety by ensuring visibility when conditions darken suddenly. The sensor is typically mounted behind the windscreen's top edge or integrated into the interior mirror housing, where it has an unobstructed view of the sky.
Check your vehicle's handbook or ask your dealer whether your car has automatic headlight control or 'auto lights' as a feature. If equipped, you'll see a symbol on the stalk or dashboard dial marked with a light-bulb icon or 'AUTO' setting. When you select this mode and the ambient light dims, the headlights activate without manual input. Not all cars have this feature; it's typically found on newer or higher-specification models.
When replacing a windscreen on a vehicle with a light sensor, the replacement glass must include the correct sensor bracket or mounting point to preserve the auto-headlight function. The sensor itself does not require software calibration—it relies on physical positioning behind the windscreen's upper trim or within the mirror assembly. Ensuring the bracket is correctly installed during the fit is essential; if omitted, the auto-light feature will fail and cannot be restored without additional parts and labour.

A camera mounted near the rear-view mirror monitors the road ahead for lane-keep and traffic-sign features.
A forward-facing camera positioned in the windscreen header area (typically mounted on or near the rear-view mirror bracket) captures video of the road ahead. This camera feeds data to driver-assistance systems such as lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, and traffic-sign recognition. The camera is a core component of modern ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and requires precise alignment after windscreen replacement to ensure these safety features function correctly.
Look for a small dark triangular or lens-shaped component mounted in the black plastic trim area above the windscreen, typically centred near the rear-view mirror or slightly to one side. Your vehicle's handbook or infotainment menu may reference 'Lane Assist', 'Traffic Sign Recognition', or 'Autonomous Emergency Braking'. Ask your dealer or service centre directly if your car is equipped with a forward-facing camera system.
Windscreen replacement on camera-equipped vehicles requires calibration of the camera system after the new glass is fitted. The exact calibration procedure—whether static (using a target board in a controlled environment) or dynamic (road-based)—varies by vehicle make, model, and year. We confirm the precise calibration requirement when we look up your specific vehicle. Calibration ensures lane-keep, sign recognition, and emergency-braking systems function safely. This may extend the fitting schedule and may necessitate workshop-based fitting rather than mobile attendance.

Dual cameras mounted near the rear-view mirror provide advanced driver-assistance features like collision avoidance and lane-keeping.
A stereo camera is a pair of cameras mounted in the upper windscreen area, typically embedded in or near the rear-view mirror housing. These cameras work together to capture depth information, allowing the vehicle's safety and driver-assistance systems to detect obstacles, measure distances, recognise lane markings, and monitor road signs. Stereo cameras are central to modern collision-avoidance, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and pedestrian-detection systems. Unlike single cameras, the dual-lens setup provides three-dimensional awareness, enabling more accurate decision-making by the vehicle's control modules.
Look in the dark area of the windscreen near the top, directly above or slightly offset from the rear-view mirror. You will see two small lens housings — typically circular or oval — separated by a small gap. Some vehicles display a camera symbol on the dashboard or in the instrument cluster when the system is active. Your vehicle's handbook or service centre can confirm the presence and type of camera system if you're uncertain.
Stereo cameras are bracket-mounted to the windscreen frame and require careful removal and reinstallation during replacement. The camera alignment is critical for safe operation — even small deviations can impair collision detection and lane-keeping accuracy. After windscreen replacement, your vehicle's camera system may require static or dynamic calibration depending on the specific make and model. We confirm the exact calibration procedure and schedule when we look up your vehicle. Calibration ensures the dual lenses are precisely aligned and the depth-sensing algorithms function correctly.

A Head-Up Display projects your speed, navigation cues and key alerts onto the windscreen so you can read them without looking down.
A Head-Up Display (HUD) projects driving information — speed, navigation cues, ADAS alerts — onto the windscreen in your line of sight, so you can read it without taking your eyes off the road. The projector is mounted in the dashboard and shines the image upwards onto a special HUD-compatible windscreen that uses a wedge-shaped laminate to prevent a ghost image. Common on premium and sports models, increasingly standard on mid-range cars from the 2020s onwards.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook under 'display features' or 'HUD'. Look for a small projector unit mounted on the dashboard, typically below the steering wheel or in the instrument cluster area. When you start the vehicle, a bright image should appear on the lower windscreen area. Your dealer's service centre can confirm whether your specific model and trim level includes a HUD.
Your replacement windscreen needs to be HUD-compatible — built with the correct wedge laminate so the projected image stays sharp and double-free. Once the HUD-compatible glass is fitted, the projector itself typically doesn't need recalibration: image position is user-adjustable via your dashboard controls. We confirm your vehicle uses the HUD-compatible windscreen variant when ordering, so the replacement matches the original.

Blue-tinted windscreens reduce glare and heat while maintaining a subtle, modern appearance.
A blue tint is a light coloration applied to the windscreen glass, usually during manufacture. It reduces solar heat transmission and glare from sunlight, particularly on bright days or when driving into the sun. The tint is integral to the glass itself — not a separate film — and is chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance comfort, visibility, and aesthetic consistency with the vehicle's side windows and rear window. Most vehicles come with a green or blue tint as standard; the choice depends on the manufacturer's design and regional climate considerations.
Check your side windows by rolling one halfway down and holding a white piece of paper behind the glass. If you see a blue tint reflected in the glass, your windscreen will have the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen tint specification. The tint is visible when comparing the windscreen to clear glass, though it may be subtle and harder to spot on overcast days.
Blue-tinted replacement windscreens must match the original tint to maintain visual consistency with your side and rear windows. Most replacement glass is available in the correct tint through OE (original equipment) suppliers. There is no calibration requirement related to tint. The tint does not affect fitting time, cure time, or drive-away schedules. Ensure the replacement windscreen is specified with the blue tint to avoid a mismatched appearance.
On the Mercedes C Class: fitted on 3 of the 48 windscreen variants we list (6%); model years 2016–2020.
A TV-reception aerial printed into the rear window, typically for in-car entertainment systems.
A TV antenna is an aerial pattern laminated into the rear windscreen or rear side window to receive broadcast television signals. It's a separate system from the vehicle's radio or mobile antenna and is typically found in vehicles equipped with rear-seat entertainment systems. The antenna is printed directly onto or into the glass during manufacture, so when the glass is replaced, the antenna pattern must be reproduced on the replacement to maintain reception quality.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook for rear-seat entertainment or TV tuner capability. If your car has a rear-seat entertainment system with a TV tuner, the rear window will have a TV antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre to confirm whether your vehicle has this feature.
When the rear window is replaced, the replacement glass must include the matching TV antenna print to preserve reception. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass is typically required to ensure the antenna pattern is identical. The antenna is passive and requires no calibration or specialist procedures after fitting. Cure time for bonded rear glass is required; the fitter will confirm the drive-away time on the day.
On the Mercedes C Class: fitted on 1 of the 48 windscreen variants we list (2%); model years 1993–2000.
A green-tinted band at the windscreen's top edge that reduces glare from sunlight above.
A green sun strip is a graduated tint band integrated into the windscreen's laminate at the upper edge. It filters intense sunlight and glare from above — particularly useful on motorways and in bright conditions — whilst maintaining clarity through the main viewing area below. The tint is permanent, fused into the laminate layer during manufacture, and cannot be applied or removed afterwards. Sun strips are a windscreen-only feature because they must be built into the laminate during production; side and rear glass cannot carry them as they are typically toughened rather than laminated.
Look at the top edge of your windscreen from the inside. A sun strip appears as a distinct green-tinted gradient band that fades from darker at the very top to clear below. It is visible whether the car is parked or moving. You can also check your vehicle's specification sheet or ask your dealership or current service centre to confirm whether your windscreen includes a sun strip.
The replacement windscreen must be the green sun strip variant to match your original. This is not a post-fit addition; it must be ordered as part of the glass itself. Availability is usually straightforward for current and recent models from major manufacturers, though older or less common variants may require a longer lead time. The sun strip does not affect calibration requirements or cure time — it is simply a laminate feature and does not complicate the fitting process.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been in continuous production since 1993, evolving through five generations and establishing itself as one of Europe's most popular executive saloons. Earlier models carry straightforward laminated windscreens with basic wipers, while C-Class variants from the mid-2000s onwards feature rain sensors that activate automatically in wet conditions.
From around 2010, solar-control glass became common on higher trims, absorbing infrared rays to reduce cabin heat. Modern C-Class windscreens often include green or grey sun strips at the top to cut glare, alongside acoustic laminate on some variants for noise reduction.
From 2022 onwards, many C-Class models entered the ADAS era with forward-facing cameras for lane-keeping assist and collision warning — these require specialist static calibration after windscreen replacement, a mandatory procedure that Mercedes technicians must complete to factory specification.
