If your windscreen has heating elements, the replacement must have them too — and this is one of the most common specification mistakes we see. Heated windscreens come in two forms: a heated wiper park strip at the base, which is by far the most common, and full-screen heating with fine wires through the glass.
Quarter glass replacement starts from $165 and is one of the more commonly overlooked repairs. Quarter glass is the small fixed pane, usually triangular, sitting ahead of or behind the main door window. It is small enough that people sometimes live with it broken — which is a mistake, because it leaves the vehicle open
Side window and door glass replacement starts from $165, and we come to you. Like rear glass, door glass is toughened rather than laminated, so it shatters completely instead of cracking. It is also the glass most often broken deliberately — a smashed driver or passenger window is one of the most common calls we
Rear windscreen replacement starts from $165, and it works quite differently to a front windscreen. Back glass is toughened rather than laminated, which means when it fails it shatters completely into small blunt fragments instead of cracking and holding together. There is no repair option — if it breaks, it is replaced. The complication is

Most EVs have large, steeply raked windscreens — often extending well over the cabin — and they carry more driver-assistance hardware than almost any other category. The electric powertrain itself makes
European and prestige vehicles need glass matched to the exact specification, and that is what drives the price rather than the badge.
