Jaguar XJ8 windscreen price, by year
Pricing varies based on whether your XJ8 carries a heated windscreen option and the specific silkscreen configuration. Heated-windscreen variants require more complex replacement due to the integrated heating elements. Variants with silkscreen modifications require their own part number to ensure proper compatibility with your vehicle's sensor layout.

Green3
1993–2003Green 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.
Vin Notch3
1993–2003A 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.
About the Jaguar XJ8
The Jaguar XJ8 was produced from 1993 to 2003, spanning a single generation of luxury executive saloon. Its windscreen features the distinctive VIN notch marking the vehicle identification number along the bottom edge, a signature detail across XJ8 variants.
Half of the XJ8 variants in our catalogue carry heated windscreens, an optional luxury feature designed to clear frost and condensation quickly in colder weather. All XJ8 windscreens carry a subtle green tint, nearly invisible to the eye but essential for UV protection and interior comfort.
Some later XJ8 models feature silkscreen modifications around the rear-view mirror area, indicating changes to sensor or camera mounting points. These are distinct part numbers and cannot be swapped with the standard print variant.
