Pricing is driven primarily by the choice between a plain green windscreen and the blue sun-strip variant — the sun-strip option carries a small premium. All Shuma variants are non-ADAS models, so replacement costs are uncomplicated by camera calibration or recalibration labour.

On the day, your fitter arrives with your replacement windscreen pre-checked to match your factory spec — green tint and sun strip included if your model has one.
The replacement typically takes 45–90 minutes of the fitter's time, depending on the condition of the frame and any trim removal needed.
Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before leaving — typically a few hours to allow the adhesive to begin curing.
You're covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality, backed by our network of trusted specialists.
Most Shuma windscreen replacements are handled as mobile visits at your address, since these early-2000s vehicles do not carry ADAS cameras that require post-replacement calibration. Your specialist will advise whether workshop access would be more convenient in your case — weather, frame corrosion, or trim access can sometimes make a workshop environment preferable.

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 Shuma was produced from 1998 to 2003, serving as Kia's entry-level saloon during a formative period for the brand. All variants in our catalogue carry a green-tinted windscreen as standard, a subtle tint that reduces glare without noticeably affecting visibility.
Many Shuma models are also fitted with a blue sun strip — a blue-tinted gradient band across the top of the windscreen that filters overhead glare while keeping the driver's main field of view clear. The sun strip is built into the glass laminate itself, so a replacement windscreen must be the correct sun-strip variant to match the original.
Being early-2000s vehicles, Shuma models do not carry ADAS cameras or associated calibration requirements, making replacement straightforward.
