Vauxhall Zafira windscreen price, by year
Prices vary significantly across the Zafira range, driven mainly by generation and the presence of camera systems. Earlier models without ADAS cameras are typically the most affordable, while newer variants with rain sensors, encapsulated trim, and camera brackets carry higher replacement costs due to increased complexity and calibration requirements.

What to expect during your Vauxhall Zafira windscreen replacement
Booking a Zafira windscreen replacement through UK Car Glass is straightforward and takes just a couple of minutes online.
- 1
Answer a few quick questions in our online quote tool to identify your exact variant — generation, trim features, and glass specification.
- 2
We match you with a local approved fitter from our network and confirm availability and pricing.
- 3
Your fitter carries out a final parts check before the job to ensure glass, brackets, and any hardware are correctly specified.
- 4
On the day, the technician removes the old windscreen, fits the replacement, and completes any calibration required in-situ — typically 45–90 minutes of active work, depending on your variant.
- 5
If your Zafira has a camera system, static calibration is completed at a workshop to confirm lane-keeping and safety features are recalibrated.
- 6
Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before you leave — usually the same day.
All replacements come with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Zafira?
Most Zafira windscreen replacements can be fitted at your home or workplace through our mobile service. However, if your model has a forward-facing camera system for driver assistance, the job is scheduled at a workshop so static calibration can be completed safely after the glass is fitted.
This calibration—where the camera relearns lane lines and road features—is essential for safety and takes place in a controlled environment with proper target boards and diagnostic equipment.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Vin Notch11
1998–2018On the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on every one of the 11 windscreen variants we list; model years 1998–2018.
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.
Green8
1998–2018On the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 8 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (73%); model years 1998–2018.
What it means
A subtle green tint in the glass—difficult to spot—that matches your factory specification and reduces glare.
On your Vauxhall Zafira
Confirmed during the quote process; most Zafira variants across all generations carry this tint.
Rain Sensor5
2005–2018No calibration after replacementOn the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 5 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (45%); model years 2005–2018; no calibration after replacement.
What it means
An optical sensor that automatically triggers your wipers when rain is detected—a convenience feature introduced on later Zafira models.
On your Vauxhall Zafira
Present on mid-2000s onwards models; the sensor sits behind the windscreen near the rear-view mirror and is transferred from your old glass to the replacement.
Solar Control5
1998–2018On the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 5 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (45%); model years 1998–2018.
What it means
A special coating on the glass that absorbs infrared rays from the sun, reducing cabin heat on warmer days—found on select higher-trim variants.
On your Vauxhall Zafira
Typically optional on premium or family-pack trims; confirmed during the quote process.
Blue Sun Strip4
1999–2012On the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 4 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (36%); model years 1999–2012.
A blue-tinted gradient band across the top of your windscreen that reduces glare without affecting your view of the road.
What it means
A blue sun strip is a tinted gradient band built into the upper edge of your windscreen's laminate layer. It reduces glare from sunlight reflecting off the road and bonnet without darkening your main field of vision. The tint is created during manufacture as part of the glass laminate itself — it cannot be added or removed later. Sun strips are a windscreen-only feature; rear and side windows cannot carry this effect because they use tempered rather than laminated glass.
How to tell
Look at the top of your windscreen from inside the car — you'll see a distinct blue-tinted band running horizontally across the upper portion. Check your vehicle's specification sheet or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen is listed as a 'blue sun strip' or 'tinted sun strip' variant. Your invoice or parts manual will confirm it.
Replacement impact
When replacing a windscreen with a blue sun strip, the replacement must be the sun-strip variant — a standard plain windscreen will not replicate the tinted band. Your replacement glass is sourced as an exact match to your original specification. There are no additional calibration or cure implications beyond a standard windscreen replacement. Fitting and drive-away times remain unchanged.
Clear3
1999–2012Calibration varies by vehicleOn the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 3 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (27%); model years 1999–2012; calibration varies by vehicle.
Clear windscreen glass has no tint; most cars have a slight tint as standard.
What it means
A clear windscreen contains no added tint layer. Most modern windscreens incorporate a subtle tint (typically blue, green, grey or bronze) as standard to reduce glare, provide UV protection, and improve cabin comfort. A genuinely clear windscreen is the absence of this tint. Clear glass is less common than tinted variants and is sometimes specified for aesthetic or operational reasons, though the tint difference is usually imperceptible to the naked eye.
How to tell
Lower your side window halfway and hold a white piece of paper behind it. If you see a noticeable colour cast (blue, green, grey or bronze) in the side glass, your windscreen has the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen specification in your service records.
Replacement impact
Clear windscreen replacement uses the same installation process as any other windscreen. No special calibration or extended cure time applies. Sourcing is straightforward — clear glass is widely available as an aftermarket replacement. Installation time and drive-away restrictions follow standard windscreen replacement timings. If your vehicle has ADAS features (forward-facing camera or radar), calibration may be required after replacement depending on your specific vehicle; we confirm this when we look up your car details.

Coating3
1999–2012On the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 3 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (27%); model years 1999–2012.
Coated windscreens have a blue or purple tint and protect your car from UV rays and heat.
What it means
A coated windscreen has a special protective layer applied to the glass that appears as a blue or purple tint and often reflects a silvery-blue colour in bright sunlight. This coating is designed to reduce the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and solar heat that enters the vehicle, helping to keep the interior cooler and protecting upholstery and dashboard components from UV damage and fading. The coating is integral to the glass and doesn't require any special maintenance from you.
How to tell
Look at your windscreen in bright daylight — a coated windscreen will show a distinct blue or purple tint and a silvery-blue reflection when the sun hits it directly. Check your vehicle's service booklet or window sticker (usually on the driver's door jamb), which may list the glass specification. Alternatively, ask your dealership or service centre to confirm whether your windscreen carries a UV or heat-rejection coating.
Replacement impact
When replacing a coated windscreen, the replacement glass must match the original specification — including the coating type and tint level — to maintain the same UV and heat protection and to preserve the vehicle's interior aesthetics. Original-equipment or equivalent aftermarket coated glass is sourced to specification. The coating is applied during glass manufacture; no post-fit treatment is required. Fitting and cure times are unaffected by the presence of the coating.
Bracket For Safety Features2
2011–2018Calibration varies by vehicleOn the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 2 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (18%); model years 2011–2018; calibration varies by vehicle.
What it means
The moulded shroud and bracket assembly that houses the camera and sensor cluster—usually transferred from your old glass or integrated into the replacement.
On your Vauxhall Zafira
Present on camera-equipped Zafiras; the bracket assembly is either transferred from your original glass or supplied pre-mounted on the replacement.
Dynamic Camera Calibration Process2
2011–2018Calibration varies by vehicleOn the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 2 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (18%); model years 2011–2018; calibration varies by vehicle.
Dynamic calibration uses road driving to recalibrate your camera after windscreen replacement.
What it means
Dynamic camera calibration is a procedure in which a technician drives the vehicle on marked roads at set speeds after the windscreen has been fitted and the adhesive has cured. During this drive, the forward-facing camera relearns its reference points — lane markings, road signs, road edges and surrounding traffic patterns — so it can resume accurate operation of camera-dependent safety and driver-assistance systems. This recalibration is necessary because any windscreen replacement, even with precision fitting, can introduce small shifts in the camera's optical alignment relative to the road.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's handbook or contact your dealer to confirm whether your car has a forward-facing camera system. If it does, ask the dealer whether your specific model requires dynamic (road-drive) or static (target-board) calibration after windscreen replacement. You can also ask your fitter — they will establish this when they look up your vehicle's specification.
Replacement impact
After your windscreen is fitted and the bonding has cured, a technician will drive the vehicle on marked roads at controlled speeds to allow the camera to relearn its environment. This extends the overall job duration beyond the glass-fitting time alone. Depending on your vehicle, calibration may be performed during the same visit or scheduled separately. We confirm the exact procedure and location (mobile or workshop) when we look up your specific vehicle.
Heat Absorbing PVB2
2011–2018On the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 2 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (18%); model years 2011–2018.
Heat-absorbing PVB interlayer reduces solar gain and cabin temperature on warm days—but must match your original spec.
What it means
Heat-absorbing PVB is a specially formulated interlayer sandwiched between the glass plies in your windscreen. It absorbs a portion of the sun's infrared radiation before it enters the cabin, reducing solar heat gain on warm days. This keeps the interior cooler and reduces air-conditioning workload. The feature is built into the glass during manufacture and cannot be added or removed after production. If your vehicle left the factory with this interlayer, any replacement windscreen must carry the same PVB specification to maintain the original thermal performance.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook—heat-absorbing PVB is listed under windscreen or glass specification. You can also ask your dealership service centre or provide us with your vehicle registration; we'll confirm whether your car came with this feature as standard or as an option.
Replacement impact
Replacement windscreens with heat-absorbing PVB must be sourced to the exact OE specification—aftermarket alternatives with standard PVB will not deliver the same solar-control performance. We ensure the correct spec is ordered before the fit. No calibration is required. Installation and cure procedures are identical to standard windscreen replacement; the interlayer is integral to the glass and requires no additional treatment.
Mono Camera2
2011–2018Calibration varies by vehicleOn the Vauxhall Zafira: fitted on 2 of the 11 windscreen variants we list (18%); model years 2011–2018; 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.
About the Vauxhall Zafira
The Vauxhall Zafira has evolved across multiple generations since 1998, with windscreen design reflecting the changes in family-car safety standards and technology. Early models feature straightforward laminated windscreens with a VIN notch and green tint, while later variants introduce rain sensors and encapsulated trim for a cleaner fit.
From the mid-2010s onwards, some Zafira models began incorporating camera-equipped windscreens for forward-facing driver assistance. These carry a bracket and sensor shroud at the top of the glass and require static camera calibration after fitting — a process completed at a workshop to ensure lane-keeping and collision-avoidance systems recalibrate accurately.
Some Vauxhall Zafira windscreens carry a camera that may need recalibrating after fitting. Read about ADAS calibration.

Frequently asked questions
The questions customers ask us most often.
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.
Some later-generation Zafira models from the mid-2010s onwards carry forward-facing cameras for lane-keeping and collision-avoidance systems. Our online quote will identify whether your variant has one. If it does, your fitter will complete static camera calibration at a workshop after the windscreen is fitted—this is included as part of the standard service and doesn't extend the minimum drive-away time.
Rain sensors are typically reused from your original glass and re-bonded to the replacement—the fitter handles this as part of the job. Camera brackets and their moulded shrouds can often be transferred too, though some later variants receive them pre-fitted to the replacement glass. Your fitter confirms the exact approach during the parts check.
Early Zafiras (1998–early 2000s) have straightforward laminated windscreens with minimal electronics. Later models introduce rain sensors, encapsulated trim for a cleaner seal, and on the newest variants, forward-facing cameras for driver assistance. The generation and trim details you provide during the quote help us match the exact specification—fitting times and calibration needs vary accordingly.
