Service
Rear window replacement on cars with a heated demist element, often combined with the radio antenna. We fit the OE-spec glass at your location, reconnect the heater and antenna wiring, and test that everything works before we leave. Interior cleaned of debris where there's been a break-in.
A modern rear window typically carries the heated demist element (those thin horizontal lines), the FM/DAB antenna print, and sometimes a third — a defrost antenna or thermistor. Replacing the glass requires reconnecting all of those without damaging the print. Non-specialist fits often end up with a heater that doesn't work or an antenna with garbled radio reception.
Rear window break-ins coat the boot and back seats with safety-tempered glass crumbs. We vacuum the interior thoroughly — boot lining, parcel shelf, seat folds, the gap between the seat back and the bench — before fitting the new glass. Saves you finding glass in the dog crate for the next six months.
We test the heated element across its full width (no dead bands), the antenna reception on FM and DAB, and any rear wiper and washer if those are mounted on the rear glass. If anything's not working, we're still there to sort it before we leave.
Heated rear glass and antenna routing is make-and-model specific — we don't fit cheap non-spec rear glass that doesn't match the wiring layout. That keeps the heater fast-acting and the radio reception clean.

Yes — the new glass carries the same antenna print as the original, wired up the same way. We test FM and DAB reception before leaving.
Immediately. The element is printed onto the glass; we just reconnect the wiring loom. As soon as the fit is complete, turn it on and it works.
In some cases — a single break in one heater line can be fixed with a conductive paint repair. Multiple breaks or damaged glass = replacement is more reliable.
Yes — privacy glass, tinted glass and the standard tints we match to the original spec for your make and model.
Yes on comprehensive policies — treated as a glass claim with separate excess and no impact on your no-claims bonus.
