Toyota Hi Ace 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.

Sun strips (the gradient tinted band at the top of the windscreen) are only present on select Hi Ace models. If your model carries one, it will be visible as a coloured band — either blue or green — when you look at the top edge of the windscreen from the outside. Your online quote will confirm this, and it's always verified during the parts check before fitting.

Yes — your replacement glass is matched to your factory specification during the parts check, whether your Hi Ace has clear, green, or blue tinting. Tint colour is specific to your model year and trim, so the glass sourced by your fitter will match exactly.

Only if your Hi Ace is equipped with a forward-facing camera for safety systems — this depends on the model year and trim. If calibration is needed, it's carried out as part of the same job, either at your address (if the fitter has the right equipment) or at a workshop. Your quote will clarify whether calibration is required for your variant.

Your fitter will confirm the minimum drive-away time before they leave — this depends on the adhesive used and ambient conditions. For most Hi Ace replacements, you can drive within a couple of hours. Even if calibration is needed, it doesn't extend the drive-away time because the bonding process runs in parallel.
