Peugeot 309 windscreen replacement — booked online.

You don't need to know. Our online widget asks a few quick questions — make, model, year, and a couple of feature details — to narrow the variant down. Once booked, our parts check team verifies the exact specification against your VIN before the job is dispatched.

Almost always, yes, where a forward-facing camera is fitted. The technicians in our network include ADAS-calibration-certified specialists — we confirm whether your job needs a workshop or can complete on your driveway when we book.

Your replacement glass matches your original factory specification — same size, features and trim fitment as the glass the car left the factory with. It's UK-approved for the road and typically supplied by tier-1 manufacturers like Pilkington, Saint-Gobain, and AGC.

OEM-branded glass (with the vehicle-maker logo) is available on request at a higher price.

Most windscreen replacements happen at your chosen location — home, office, or car park. Some jobs are better suited to a workshop — for example, windscreens with ADAS cameras needing static calibration, or where access to power, shelter, or controlled conditions makes the work safer indoors. We let you know when we confirm your booking.

Most windscreen replacements take 45–90 minutes of the technician's time. ADAS calibration extends the technician's time on the job, but cure time runs in parallel — so it doesn't usually delay when you can drive. Your technician will confirm exact timings on the day.

Most UK comprehensive policies include glass cover, typically with an excess of £75–£100. If your insurer is on our approved list, the specialist you're matched with bills them directly and you just pay the excess.

Otherwise you can pay UK Car Glass directly and claim back from your insurer — our all-inclusive price is often lower than the excess anyway, so paying direct can work out cheaper.

Two years on workmanship defects — water leaks, wind noise, bonding failures — from the date of replacement. If the specialist's work isn't right, we arrange to put it right under the warranty process.

The bronze tint is built into the laminated glass during manufacture — it's not a film or coating you can remove. It reduces infrared heat and glare, especially from overhead sun, helping keep the interior cooler and reducing eye strain. Most 309 owners don't notice it because it's subtle, but it's a standard feature on the majority of cars from this era.

No. The blue sun strip is a permanent feature of the laminated PVB interlayer — it cannot be added to a plain windscreen after manufacture. Your replacement must match the exact variant on your 309. If you fit a clear windscreen where a blue sun strip was original, the distinctive tinted band will be missing.

Your technician will confirm the minimum drive-away time before they leave — this is based on the adhesive used and ambient conditions that day. The 309 doesn't require calibration equipment to complete, so once the glass is set and sealed, you're ready to go. Always follow the fitter's guidance on when it's safe to drive.

No. The Peugeot 309 was manufactured well before driver-assistance systems became common, so there are no cameras, rain sensors, or other electronic features mounted to the windscreen. This makes replacement straightforward — it's pure glass fitting with no additional calibration or specialist equipment needed.
