Volvo 940 windscreen price, by year
Prices vary based on whether your 940 carries a blue sun strip and the specific silkscreen print around the rear-view mirror area. Earlier models and those without the sun strip tend to be more affordable. Later variants or those with modified silkscreen detail for different mirror housings may carry a small premium due to part-number specificity.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your 940?
Most Volvo 940 windscreen replacements can be done on a mobile basis at your home or workplace — no workshop visit required. Because the 940 predates modern ADAS systems, there's no camera calibration needed after replacement, making mobile fitting straightforward and quick.
You're welcome to choose a workshop if you prefer, or if weather conditions make outdoor work difficult on the day.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Green2
1990–1998Green 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.
Blue Sun Strip1
1990–1998A 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.
Silkscreen Modification1
1990–1998A modified black-printed area around the rear-view mirror to suit your vehicle's camera or sensor layout.
What it means
Silkscreen modification refers to a variation in the black-printed area (called the 'frit') that surrounds the rear-view mirror on your windscreen. This printed zone is shaped to accommodate your vehicle's specific camera, sensor, or ADAS equipment layout. Different vehicles — even within the same model range — may have different camera positions or sensor configurations, requiring a bespoke print pattern. A silkscreen-modified windscreen is a distinct part with its own part number and cannot be used interchangeably with the standard print variant.
How to tell
Check your windscreen documentation or the original part number — dealership service records will confirm whether your windscreen carries a modified silkscreen. You can also ask your dealer's parts department to confirm the exact print variant for your vehicle's year and specification. The modification itself is visible as the black-printed border around the mirror area, but identifying whether it's 'modified' requires checking the part number rather than visual inspection alone.
Replacement impact
When your windscreen requires replacement, we must source the correct silkscreen variant for your specific vehicle to ensure proper camera and sensor clearance. Using an incorrect print variant could obstruct camera fields of view or interfere with sensor operation, compromising ADAS functionality and safety. We confirm the exact part number during the booking process to guarantee the correct glass is supplied and fitted. No additional calibration is triggered by the silkscreen modification itself; any calibration needed relates to the camera or sensor system, not the print.
About the Volvo 940
The Volvo 940 was produced from 1990 to 1998 as a mid-size executive saloon, evolving through a single generation with a facelift in 1997. All models in our catalogue feature a green-tinted windscreen as standard, reducing glare and UV ingress.
Some variants also include a blue sun strip — a blue-tinted gradient band across the top of the windscreen that cuts glare from above without affecting forward visibility. This feature is built into the glass laminate and must be matched exactly on replacement; a plain windscreen will not replicate it.
The 940 was designed before widespread ADAS integration, so windscreen replacement is straightforward without camera calibration. What matters is matching your exact tint and sun-strip specification.
