About Polestar windscreen replacement

Polestar is Volvo's performance-focused electric brand, combining Swedish precision engineering with cutting-edge autonomous driving technology. The Polestar 2, launched in 2020, established the marque's reputation for rapid acceleration and minimalist design, while the Polestar 3 (2023) and Polestar 4 brought three-row electric performance to new segments.

Across Polestar's current range, windscreens carry a forward-facing mono camera as standard, integral to the brand's Pilot Assist and collision-warning systems. This camera sensor sits bonded to the windscreen glass and plays a critical role in lane-keeping, forward collision detection, and active high-beam functions.

Following windscreen replacement, camera calibration is required on all Polestar models to restore full ADAS functionality. The windscreen sensor area must remain clean and undamaged for these safety systems to work correctly, making professional replacement and proper calibration essential.

What drives Polestar windscreen prices

Pricing for Polestar windscreen replacement varies based on the model year and the specific ADAS calibration requirements of your vehicle. Newer models with more advanced Pilot Assist features may involve more detailed calibration work after glass replacement, while the glass itself is matched to your factory specification.

Calibration complexity also influences overall cost — static calibration performed in a workshop environment typically costs more than jobs requiring mobile fitting alone, though many Polestar owners benefit from having the full job completed in one location to ensure safety systems are properly restored.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit

Most Polestar windscreen replacements can be arranged mobile at your address, as the brand's camera-based ADAS systems are well-established in the aftermarket repair sector. However, because all current Polestar models require camera calibration following windscreen replacement, many owners choose a workshop appointment to ensure calibration is completed properly in a controlled environment.

If static calibration with target boards is needed, the entire job — glass replacement and calibration — is scheduled at the workshop. This keeps the safety-critical setup in one place and gives you confidence that the Pilot Assist and collision-warning systems are fully restored.

Passenger side car window

I had my passenger side car window smashed and broken into. This was done in the early hours of Friday morning. I found UK Car Glass after a brief search and comparison of other replacement glass specialists. I booked an appointment online and the came to fix it early Monday afternoon. The engineer John arrived and explained what he was going to do. He was very efficient and did a good job of clearing out the remainder of the broken glass that still trapped inside my door. But there was a slight issue with the replacement glass (something to do with a faulty seal which is apparently quite common amongst my car model) which John was very honest about and explained that in his professional opinion that he wouldn't be happy to leave me with the current glass he had fitted. He explained that he would leave the faulty glass in for the time being, just so my car had some protection from the elements overnight and he would order another replacement glass. He booked me in for another appointment the next day, Tuesday and assured me he would ensure the new replacement glass would be suitable. He returned mid to late afternoon the next day and fitted the new glass very quickly and explained that he was satisfied with it. Overall, a very good and efficient experience. Even with the faulty replacement glass, but John was very honest and did a great job.

NEVER STRIM NEAR YOUR CAR

I broke my front passenger window strimming the edge of my front lawn, when the strimmer shot a stone towards my car. Although I had cover I thought I might find out how much it might be. An online search brought up UK Car Glass and the price was £295, reasonable I thought. The only other site that was thrown up and did windows other that a front screen was Autoglass and I had to ring up to get a price. I asked the agent to give me a non-insured figure and his response was a little shocking. He got as far as "One Thousand" when I cut in with "WHAT!" "You must be mad." He did offer a discount, but it wouln't be anywhere near the price from UK Car Glass. I told him to forget it and booked my appointment with UK Car Glass for the next day. I was not there when the work was done, but I inspected my vehicle on my return home and was pleased with what I found. I will never use Autoglass again, although it is 30 years since my last window replacement, so I will probably be dead, before I need another.

I got in touch with UK Car Glass via…

I got in touch with UK Car Glass via the website and filled in the details required (it was out of office hours) the following morning I received a text around 8am. The quote was almost £500 cheaper then the big national company. I accepted the quote via the link and made payment. Within 10 minutes my order had gone through and a technician had been assigned to me. Got a call from the technician asked if I was free that afternoon which I was so it worked out great for me. Arrived promptly at 1.45pm and had finished by around 2.20pm. I would highly recommend UK Car Glass. Really impressed with the speed of the service received. My student has a driving test booked for Monday and the examiners will not take a car out on test with the size of cracked I had on my Ford Focus (23 plate) once again thank you.

First class service throughout

After a little accident with my rear screen, I filled in the order form online late on a Monday Evening (24/5/21) to place a order and arrange for a technician to come out. It gave me the following day as available which I thought couldn't be true as by this time it was 20:30 Monday evening. The following day came I received two text messages and a call from the technician to say he was on his way. All complete by by 10am. I wasn't on site to see his work but neighbour was more then happy to check it all over. Considering the order was placed at 20:30 the pervious night, I'm over the moon that the rear screen was replaced before 10am. Excellent website, excellent service, excellent communication throughout. Thanks UK Car Glass. Hopefully will not need your service again but if I do I shall return.

Great customer service throughout

Great customer service throughout. The price was quoting 1/2 of what other places were so great value for money. I was told my original booking date had to be moved to the next day. This I had no issue with as I was notified as soon as possible. I was then informed they had found someone to fulfil the original date I had booked which was amazing. They went out of their way to fulfil my original booking. On the day, I was called 30 minutes prior to the technicians arrival giving an exact time of when he was due to arrive. Once the technician arrived he was very friendly and knowledgeable answering all questions I had. The glass was fitted quickly within an hour and the man tidied up after himself. Overall great service, would recommend.

Excellent Customer Service and Great Job

After an on-going issue with Autoglass, who appeared unwilling and unable to source a new windscreen under my insurance policy, it was agreed that I could source this windscreen through another company. I read the positive reviews for UK Car Glass and they did not disappoint. They sourced the windscreen within a day and 2 days later attended to fit and calibrate the windscreen at my home. Took Ryan and Martin c. 90 minutes to complete the fitting at my home address. Very neat, tidy and efficient job. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. It is just a shame that this company is not affiliated with insurance companies as the service they provide is one that other companies should aspire to.

My windscreen cracked and I was really…

My windscreen cracked and I was really struggling to find anyone who could fix it quicker than 2 weeks. Then I came across UK Car Glass online and was pleased to find that not only could they fit me in within a few days but also at literally half the cost the everywhere else ( including big companies like auto glass ) ! I booked in and Steve cake out to fix my car. The service was fantastic and so efficient . I didn’t need to stop working ( I was working from home ) , I got a call to tell me when they were on their way and passed them my keys when they got here and 25 minutes later the windscreen was replaced and the car was good as new ! I’m so pleased with this service, I will recommend it to everyone I know ☺️

Highly Recommended

I thought I had windscreen cover through my insurance but was notified by Autoglass that wasn't the case. Autoglass wanted to charge me £639 to replace my windscreen with a 4 day wait and it would require me to drive 30 miles to their site. I looked elsewhere and came across UK car glass who offered a mobile service for £331, they even called out next working day, at this time of year I was so happy. I received a call from SilverScreen who I presume do all the work for UK car glass on the day at 10am, it was actually raining so they said they would and try and get here later in the day, turned up (2 men) at 2:30pm, changed my windscreen within 30 minutes. 1 year warranty is included, couldn't be happier

Excellent Service, Great Price

The engineers came by and were extremely patient with me as I was unable to answer the door right away because I was working at the time. They were so friendly and helpful, completed the job quickly and cleared away all the broken glass in and around my car. Not only did they clear the broken glass but they hoovered the entire interior of the car which was a lovely surprise when I saw the result. The customer service side of the business was also fantastic, really can't fault the service I received at all. Would recommend UK Car Glass for anyone who has any issues with their glasswork. Hopefully I won't be needing any more glass replacements for my car but if I do, I know I'll be coming back!

Great Company.

I had enqiured about a front passenger window and booked for thr next day to have it fitted. The company were so great! They had to change the date as the installation guy was busy, but they offered me a refund if I couldn't do the next day they advised which was only 2 days later and not an issue. They communicated with me well letting me know before they were due to arrive by giving me an estimated time and a message when they weren't too far they also had the job done so quick just over half hour. It was the cheapest quote I had been given, plus they came to my house which made it much easier. If I'm unlucky enough to have my window put through again, I'd go to UK car glass again!

Top marks!!

Tried to claim the smashed drivers side window & stolen radio through the insurance company, still no further forward as of yesterday, got in touch with Car glass UK yesterday, smashed window sorted today, easy order form to fill in, which gives you a price to supply and fit, got a confirmation e-mail, and a following e-mail with the appointment time, technician's name & phone number. He arrived between the times given,completed the job very quickly, hoovered the remainder of the broken glass up, great service & price with minimum fuss, wish everyone was as reliable as this company, will recommend to friends & family, and will use again without hesitation!!

What Polestar windscreen features mean

Tap a feature to see what it is, how to spot it on your car, and how it affects glass replacement. We confirm the exact match for your vehicle when you book.

  • Acoustic (Noise reduction)1
    2019–2023

    Acoustic glass reduces cabin noise for a quieter, more comfortable ride.

    What it means

    Acoustic windscreen glass is laminated with a special acoustic interlayer that absorbs and dampens sound vibrations. It reduces exterior noise—from traffic, wind, and road surface—before it enters the passenger compartment. This makes the cabin noticeably quieter and creates a more peaceful driving experience. It's a comfort feature, not a safety one; standard laminated windscreens already meet impact safety requirements.

    How to tell

    Check your windscreen for an ear symbol, the word 'Acoustic', a capital 'A', or the term 'SoundScreen' printed in one of the four corners. These markings indicate acoustic-grade glass. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre whether your model came fitted with acoustic glass—it's often a factory option on comfort or premium trims.

    Replacement impact

    Acoustic glass is always laminated and bonds to the frame like any standard windscreen, so replacement follows the normal bonded-glass procedure. No specialist calibration is required. The replacement technician will fit it using standard adhesive and sealant. Cure time and drive-away restrictions are identical to standard laminated windscreens. Acoustic glass is widely available as an aftermarket OE-equivalent option.

  • Camera1
    2019–2023Calibration varies by vehicle

    A camera mounted near the rear-view mirror monitors the road ahead for lane-keep and traffic-sign features.

    What it means

    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.

    How to tell

    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.

    Replacement impact

    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.

  • Green1
    2019–2023

    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.

  • Mono Camera1
    2019–2023Calibration 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.

  • Other Hardware1
    2019–2023

    Factory-fitted brackets and mounts bonded to the glass, pre-assembled and ready to fit without sub-assembly.

    What it means

    Other Hardware refers to factory-fitted brackets, mounts, connectors, or trim pieces bonded permanently to the windscreen or other glass during manufacturing. These are integral to the vehicle's design but do not activate or control a specific feature — they simply secure or position components like sensors, trim strips, or mounting points. Unlike feature-specific hardware, these items are passive structural elements. A replacement carrying Other Hardware arrives pre-bonded and ready to install without additional assembly or modification.

    How to tell

    Check your vehicle documentation or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen or glass panel carries factory-bonded brackets or mounts. Visual inspection may reveal trim strips, sensor housings, or antenna mounts bonded to the edges or interior surface of the glass. Your original invoice or parts list will specify if Other Hardware is present.

    Replacement impact

    Replacement glass carrying Other Hardware must be sourced as a complete assembly — the brackets and mounts come pre-bonded from the supplier and cannot be transferred from the old glass. Installation is straightforward: the fitter removes the old glass and fits the replacement with its hardware already in place. No additional sub-assembly, bonding, or recalibration of the hardware itself is required. Fitting time is unaffected.

  • Rain Sensor1
    2019–2023No calibration after replacement

    Your wipers automatically activate when rain falls on the windscreen.

    What it means

    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.

    How to tell

    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.

    Replacement impact

    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.

  • Vin Notch1
    2019–2023

    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.
