Ford Expedition windscreen price, by year
Pricing for the 1997–2000 Expedition varies based on the presence of the blue sun strip, green tint, and solar control features — all of which are standard across the catalogue variants we carry. Since these early models predate modern driver assistance systems, there's no ADAS calibration complexity to factor in.
| Year | Price range | Variants | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | £729 — £729 | 1 variant | Price my 2000 |
| 1999 | £729 — £729 | 1 variant | Price my 1999 |
| 1998 | £729 — £729 | 1 variant | Price my 1998 |
| 1997 | £729 — £729 | 1 variant | Price my 1997 |
The displayed range is an indicator — the final price is produced by the quote form after you confirm your variant. Older Expeditions can still be booked.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Expedition?
For the 1997–2000 Expedition, mobile fitting at your address is the default option — your windscreen is straightforward laminated glass with no modern driver assistance systems. Your technician can fit and seal it on your driveway with no calibration work required afterwards.
If you prefer a workshop environment or have limited access at home, you're welcome to choose that option when you book.

Blue Sun Strip1
1997–2000A 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.
Green1
1997–2000Green 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.
Solar Control1
1997–2000Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
What it means
Solar control is a coating applied to the windscreen that absorbs the sun's infrared radiation rather than allowing it to pass through into the cabin. This reduces solar heat gain, helping to keep the interior cooler and more comfortable, particularly in warm weather or direct sunlight. The coating is transparent to visible light, so it doesn't darken the windscreen or affect visibility. It's a passive thermal management feature that works continuously whenever the sun is shining on the glass.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or contact your dealership service centre to confirm whether solar control glass is fitted. Some manufacturers list it as 'solar control windscreen', 'heat-reflective glass', or 'thermal management glass'. It's a factory-fitted feature and won't be visibly obvious from outside the car — the coating is integral to the glass itself.
Replacement impact
Solar control glass is a factory-fitted specification. When replacing the windscreen, a solar control variant must be sourced to match the original. This is a standard glass type with no special fitting implications or calibration requirements. Cure and drive-away times follow normal windscreen bonding procedures. Confirm with your fitter that the replacement glass includes solar control to maintain the original thermal performance.
About the Ford Expedition
The Ford Expedition was introduced in 1997 as Ford's full-size premium SUV, built on the F-150 platform and designed to compete in the growing family SUV market. Early Expeditions from this generation came equipped with a laminated windscreen featuring a blue sun strip across the top — a tinted gradient band that reduces glare from above without affecting driver visibility.
These windscreens also featured green-tinted glass and solar control coating to manage infrared heat from the sun. The replacement glass matches your factory specification and comes with its fitting hardware pre-fitted, so it's ready to bond as a single unit.
