• Green31

  1964–2026

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on every one of the 31 windscreen variants we list; model years 1964–2026.

  What it means

  A subtle green tint applied to nearly all 911 windscreens — so faint most owners don't notice it.

  On your Porsche 911

  Present on virtually all 911 variants from the 1960s onwards; confirmed during the quote verification process.

• Antenna29

  1964–2026

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 29 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (94%); model years 1964–2026.

  What it means

  An aerial laminated into the windscreen for radio, DAB, or TV reception, replacing a traditional roof-mounted mast.

  On your Porsche 911

  Standard on most post-1990s 911 models; your replacement must carry the matching antenna connector to restore reception.

• Vin Notch25

  1993–2026

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 25 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (81%); model years 1993–2026.

  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.

• Rain Sensor23

  2003–2026No calibration after replacement

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 23 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (74%); model years 2003–2026; no calibration after replacement.

  What it means

  An optical sensor that triggers automatic wipers when it detects rain on the windscreen.

  On your Porsche 911

  Common on 911 models from the early 2000s onwards; confirmed during the parts-check phase.

• Solar Control22

  2004–2026

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 22 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (71%); model years 2004–2026.

  What it means

  A solar-coated windscreen that absorbs the sun's infrared rays, reducing cabin heat and UV exposure.

  On your Porsche 911

  Increasingly standard on modern 911 variants; your replacement glass must match this specification to preserve the thermal benefit.

• Camera17

  2011–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 17 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (55%); model years 2011–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  What it means

  A forward-facing camera mounted behind the windscreen near the rear-view mirror to support driver-assistance systems.

  On your Porsche 911

  Present on newer 911 models with ADAS features; visible as a triangular black shape in the top centre of the windscreen.

• Bracket For Safety Features16

  2011–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 16 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (52%); model years 2011–2026; 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.

• Grey Sun Strip12

  2004–2026

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 12 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (39%); model years 2004–2026.

  A grey-tinted band across the top of your windscreen that reduces glare from sunlight and reflections above.

  What it means

  A grey sun strip is a tinted gradient band built into the top edge of the windscreen during manufacture. It sits within the laminated glass layers and gradually fades from opaque grey at the very top to clear further down. The strip is designed to reduce glare and reflections from sunlight, street lights, and oncoming headlights, improving comfort and visibility for the driver without obstructing the view of traffic signals or overhead hazards. Sun strips are a factory-applied feature unique to windscreens—they cannot be added to side or rear glass because those are typically toughened rather than laminated.

  How to tell

  Look at the top of your windscreen from inside the vehicle. You will see a grey-tinted band that fades to clear glass. The tint is gradual and integral to the glass itself, not a removable film or coating. Your vehicle's service records or handbook may also list it as a standard feature. If unsure, ask your dealer or service centre whether your specific model includes a sun strip.

  Replacement impact

  When replacing a windscreen with a sun strip, the replacement glass must be sourced in the exact matching variant—including the sun-strip tint and fade profile. Aftermarket and OE glass are both available for most vehicles, but the variant must be correct to match your original. There is no calibration required for the sun strip itself. If your windscreen also carries camera or sensor features, those will be calibrated separately according to your vehicle's needs.

• Mono Camera8

  2011–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 8 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (26%); model years 2011–2026; 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.

• Static Camera Calibration Process8

  2011–2026Static calibration required

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 8 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (26%); model years 2011–2026; static calibration required.

  What it means

  After windscreen replacement, the forward-facing camera must be re-aligned indoors using printed targets to ensure safety systems function correctly.

  On your Porsche 911

  Required on specific modern 911 variants with ADAS; your technician will confirm whether calibration is needed and schedule it at a workshop on the same day as fitting.

• GPS5

  2011–2026

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 5 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (16%); model years 2011–2026.

  GPS antenna built into the windscreen connects your sat-nav to satellite signals for reliable navigation.

  What it means

  A GPS antenna is laminated into the windscreen glass during manufacture, providing a direct aerial connection for your vehicle's satellite-navigation system. This integrated design offers better signal reception than external antennas and a cleaner aesthetic. The antenna print and electrical connector are engineered into the glass itself, allowing the navigation receiver to lock onto GPS satellites without interference from the vehicle's metal body or other components.

  How to tell

  Check your vehicle's handbook or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen carries an integrated GPS antenna. You won't see obvious external aerials or connectors on the glass itself — the antenna is laminated internally. If your sat-nav works reliably without a visible roof-mounted antenna, it's likely GPS-equipped.

  Replacement impact

  Replacement windscreens with GPS antennas must be sourced as OEM (original-equipment) glass to preserve navigation functionality. The antenna print pattern and electrical connector are specific to your vehicle's sat-nav system. Aftermarket glass without the antenna print will not support GPS reception. We confirm OEM availability when you book; lead times may be slightly longer than standard glass.

• Green Sun Strip5

  1964–2006

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 5 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (16%); model years 1964–2006.

  A green-tinted band at the windscreen's top edge that reduces glare from sunlight above.

  What it means

  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.

  How to tell

  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.

  Replacement impact

  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.

• Dark Grey Sun Strip1

  2012–2017

  On the Porsche 911: fitted on 1 of the 31 windscreen variants we list (3%); model years 2012–2017.

  A dark-grey tinted band runs across the top of your windscreen to reduce glare from the sun.

  What it means

  A dark-grey sun strip is a gradient-tinted band integrated into the windscreen's laminate layer at the top edge. It reduces glare and heat from direct sunlight without compromising visibility. Sun strips are a windscreen-only feature because they are built into the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer during manufacture — toughened side and rear glass cannot incorporate them. The dark-grey variant is a factory specification on certain vehicles, chosen for its aesthetic match to the original finish and optical properties.

  How to tell

  Look at the top edge of your windscreen from outside the vehicle. You will see a dark-grey gradient band running horizontally across the width. If your original windscreen has this dark tint (rather than the standard lighter grey), your replacement must match it. Check your vehicle's handbook or contact your dealer's service department to confirm the sun strip colour specification for your model.

  Replacement impact

  Replacement windscreens with a dark-grey sun strip must be sourced to the exact factory specification. The tint is integral to the laminate and cannot be added or modified after manufacture. Your fitter will confirm the correct variant is in stock before fitting. The dark-grey specification may have a longer lead time than standard grey; we will advise at quote if any delay is expected. Installation and cure procedures are identical to standard windscreens.
