• Green14

  2015–2026

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on every one of the 14 windscreen variants we list; model years 2015–2026.

  Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.

• Heated Windscreen14

  2015–2026

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on every one of the 14 windscreen variants we list; model years 2015–2026.

  What it means

  A mesh of thin wires embedded in the glass that heat up to defrost and demist the windscreen quickly in cold weather.

  On your Mercedes GLE

  Standard across all GLE variants in our catalogue; you'll see fine wire traces running across the glass surface.

• Rain Sensor14

  2015–2026No calibration after replacement

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on every one of the 14 windscreen variants we list; model years 2015–2026; no calibration after replacement.

  What it means

  An automatic sensor that detects rain and activates your wipers without manual input.

  On your Mercedes GLE

  Standard on all GLE models; confirmed during the parts check if you're unsure whether your variant has it.

• Vin Notch14

  2015–2026

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on every one of the 14 windscreen variants we list; model years 2015–2026.

  A printed VIN reference box along the bottom edge of your windscreen helps identify your vehicle's chassis number at a glance.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.

• Bracket For Safety Features13

  2015–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 13 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (93%); model years 2015–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  The moulded trim that surrounds your camera and sensor cluster at the top of the windscreen, typically transferred or supplied with replacement glass.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.

• Camera13

  2015–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 13 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (93%); model years 2015–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  What it means

  A forward-facing windscreen-mounted camera integrated into the ADAS suite for lane-keeping, collision warning, and traffic-sign recognition.

  On your Mercedes GLE

  Present on all current GLE variants from 2022 onwards as part of the Driver Assistance Package; confirmed during your quote.

• Static Camera Calibration Process13

  2015–2026Static calibration required

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 13 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (93%); model years 2015–2026; static calibration required.

  What it means

  After windscreen replacement on ADAS-equipped GLE models, the forward camera is recalibrated indoors using printed target boards to ensure lane-assist and collision-warning systems remain accurate.

  On your Mercedes GLE

  Required on 93% of GLE variants in our catalogue; your technician will confirm whether your specific model needs this when you book.

• Heated Wiper Rest Area12

  2015–2026

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 12 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (86%); model years 2015–2026.

  Heating elements embedded in the glass melt ice from your wipers and the bottom of your windscreen.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.

• Sensor Heated Zone12

  2015–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 12 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (86%); model years 2015–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  Heated zones around sensors prevent frost and moisture buildup, helping your safety systems work reliably.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.

• Stereo Camera8

  2015–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 8 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (57%); model years 2015–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  What it means

  Two camera lenses mounted in the windscreen header for enhanced 3D depth perception, used by advanced ADAS functions.

  On your Mercedes GLE

  Present on many 2022+ GLE models with enhanced Driver Assistance; you'll see two triangular camera shapes in the black header zone near the rear-view mirror.

• Acoustic (Noise reduction)7

  2015–2026

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 7 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (50%); model years 2015–2026.

  What it means

  A laminated windscreen with a sound-dampening interlayer that reduces cabin noise from road and wind.

  On your Mercedes GLE

  Available on select GLE trims and generations; look for the word 'Acoustic' or 'SoundScreen' etched into one corner of the glass, or confirmed in your specification sheet.

• Mono Camera5

  2015–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 5 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (36%); model years 2015–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  A single camera mounted near the rear-view mirror that helps with lane-keeping and collision avoidance.

  What it means

  A mono camera is a single-lens camera positioned behind the windscreen, typically in the upper centre area near the rear-view mirror. It captures the road ahead and uses computer vision to detect lane markings, vehicles, and road hazards. The camera feeds data to driver-assistance systems such as lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and forward-collision warning. It forms the visual foundation of these safety features, allowing the vehicle to monitor road position and surrounding traffic automatically.

  How to tell

  Look in the black trim area above the windscreen, centred behind the rear-view mirror — you will see a small triangular lens assembly or dark lens cover. Check your vehicle handbook or ask your dealer's service department to confirm your model has lane-assistance or collision-warning features; vehicles with these systems almost always have a mono camera. Dashboard warning symbols related to lane or collision systems also indicate the presence of this camera.

  Replacement impact

  When the windscreen is replaced, the camera bracket and lens assembly must be removed and carefully repositioned on the new glass. The camera may require calibration after fitting to ensure accurate road detection and lane recognition. Calibration needs vary by vehicle — we confirm the exact procedure when we look up your specific vehicle. The job may take longer than a standard windscreen replacement, and workshop facilities may be required if calibration demands a controlled environment.

• HUD - Head Up Display4

  2019–2026No calibration after replacement

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 4 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (29%); model years 2019–2026; no calibration after replacement.

  A Head-Up Display projects your speed, navigation cues and key alerts onto the windscreen so you can read them without looking down.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.

• Solar Control3

  2015–2026

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 3 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (21%); model years 2015–2026.

  What it means

  A special coating that absorbs the sun's infrared rays, keeping the cabin cooler on hot days and reducing air-conditioning load.

  On your Mercedes GLE

  Optional on premium and higher trims; typically paired with top-spec climate packages — confirmed during the quote process.

• TV Antenna3

  2015–2026

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 3 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (21%); model years 2015–2026.

  A TV-reception aerial printed into the rear window, typically for in-car entertainment systems.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.

• Antenna2

  2015–2019

  On the Mercedes GLE: fitted on 2 of the 14 windscreen variants we list (14%); model years 2015–2019.

  An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.
