Sephia replacement costs vary primarily by generation and glass specification — earlier models with basic laminated glass are typically the most affordable, while later variants with green tint and sun-strip specifications command slightly higher pricing. Availability of the exact original spec can also influence cost, as some suppliers may have wider stock of common 1990s–2000s variants than others.

Booking your Sephia windscreen replacement through UK Car Glass is straightforward.
Use our online quote tool to confirm your exact Sephia variant and glass spec — takes around a minute.
You'll be matched with an approved fitter in your area who has access to the correct replacement glass.
Before the fitting day, the fitter's supplier confirms the glass matches your factory specification, including any tint or sun-strip detail.
On the day, your fitter typically spends 45–90 minutes removing the old windscreen, setting the new glass, and allowing the adhesive to cure.
Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before leaving — usually a few hours depending on the adhesive used and conditions.
You're covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
Throughout the process, you can track your booking and speak directly with the technician matched to your job.
The Kia Sephia is a pre-ADAS vehicle, so standard windscreen replacement is mobile-friendly — your fitter can visit you at home and complete the job on your driveway. No workshop visit is required unless you prefer one. Mobile fitting is the default and typically completes within a couple of hours wall-clock time.

Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
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.
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.
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.
A blue-tinted gradient band across the top of your windscreen that reduces glare without affecting your view of the road.
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.
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.
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.
The Kia Sephia was in production from 1995 to 2003, serving as an affordable compact saloon across multiple generations. Early Sephias carry straightforward laminated windscreens, while later variants feature tinted green glass as standard — a subtle tint that reduces glare without significantly darkening the cabin.
Most Sephias in our catalogue feature a blue sun strip, a gradient-tinted band across the top of the windscreen that filters glare from above. This is part of the laminate structure and must be matched exactly during replacement — a plain windscreen will not replicate the sun strip effect.
Being a 1990s–early-2000s model, the Sephia pre-dates ADAS camera systems, so windscreen replacement is straightforward and does not require calibration.
