Replacement costs vary primarily between earlier non-ADAS models (2018–early 2020) and camera-equipped variants from 2020 onwards. Models with DriveWise ADAS require static calibration after fitting, which extends the technician's time on the job and may necessitate a workshop location depending on the fitter's equipment.
Green tinting and the VIN notch are standard across all variants and don't materially affect pricing. The key driver of variation is the presence and complexity of ADAS calibration.

Receive an instant quote for your location and choose a convenient date and time — mobile fitting at your address or a workshop appointment.
You'll be matched with an approved local specialist who has all the tools and experience for your xCeed.
On the day, your fitter replaces the windscreen, fits the trim cover around the camera bracket, and — if your model has DriveWise ADAS — carries out static camera calibration using diagnostic equipment.
Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before leaving; calibration runs in parallel with adhesive cure, so it doesn't extend the time before you can drive.
You're covered by a two-year warranty on the glass and workmanship — any issues, just contact UKCG and we'll arrange a remedy.
From quote to fitting, UKCG handles the coordination so you're back on the road with confidence.
Most xCeed windscreen replacements can be done at your home or workplace (mobile fitting), particularly non-ADAS models. However, if your xCeed carries the DriveWise ADAS camera from 2020 onwards, static calibration is required after glass replacement.
Static calibration needs printed target boards set up in a controlled workshop environment — it can't be done on a driveway. When calibration is needed, the entire job (glass replacement and calibration) is scheduled at a workshop location to ensure safety-critical systems are properly recalibrated. Your fitter will confirm this during booking.

The moulded trim that surrounds your camera and sensor cluster at the top of the windscreen, typically transferred or supplied with replacement glass.
A bracket for safety features is the moulded plastic or composite shroud that sits at the top of the windscreen, framing and protecting the camera and sensor cluster mounted behind the rear-view mirror. This trim cover houses forward-facing driver-assistance cameras and sensors — equipment that monitors the road ahead for lane-keeping, collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and similar safety functions. The bracket itself is part of the vehicle's structural frame, but the trim cover you see is what protects and aesthetically integrates the technology into the windscreen area.
Look at the top centre of your windscreen, just above or around the rear-view mirror. If you see a dark moulded shroud or trim panel — often rectangular or tapered — with a visible lens or sensor window, your vehicle has a bracket for safety features. Your service history or handbook will list any ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) technologies fitted. Ask your dealer or service centre if your vehicle has forward-facing cameras or sensors; if it does, you have a bracket for safety features.
On windscreen replacement, the trim cover is typically transferred from your old glass to the new one, or supplied pre-integrated with the replacement depending on the variant. This means minimal disruption to your safety system during the swap. However, if the bracket requires recalibration after glass replacement — which depends on your specific vehicle and camera type — the job may require static calibration (using a target board) or dynamic calibration (a road drive). We confirm the exact calibration procedure when we look up your vehicle.

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 single camera mounted near the rear-view mirror that helps with lane-keeping and collision avoidance.
A mono camera is a single-lens camera positioned behind the windscreen, typically in the upper centre area near the rear-view mirror. It captures the road ahead and uses computer vision to detect lane markings, vehicles, and road hazards. The camera feeds data to driver-assistance systems such as lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and forward-collision warning. It forms the visual foundation of these safety features, allowing the vehicle to monitor road position and surrounding traffic automatically.
Look in the black trim area above the windscreen, centred behind the rear-view mirror — you will see a small triangular lens assembly or dark lens cover. Check your vehicle handbook or ask your dealer's service department to confirm your model has lane-assistance or collision-warning features; vehicles with these systems almost always have a mono camera. Dashboard warning symbols related to lane or collision systems also indicate the presence of this camera.
When the windscreen is replaced, the camera bracket and lens assembly must be removed and carefully repositioned on the new glass. The camera may require calibration after fitting to ensure accurate road detection and lane recognition. Calibration needs vary by vehicle — we confirm the exact procedure when we look up your specific vehicle. The job may take longer than a standard windscreen replacement, and workshop facilities may be required if calibration demands a controlled environment.

Static calibration uses printed targets indoors to align your forward-facing camera after windscreen replacement.
Static camera calibration is a procedure in which a forward-facing camera system is realigned using printed target boards positioned at manufacturer-specified distances and heights in front of the vehicle. The vehicle remains stationary indoors throughout. A diagnostic tool reads the camera's view of these targets and adjusts the camera's alignment to factory specification. This ensures the camera can accurately detect road features, lane markings, pedestrians, and other objects — critical for driver-assistance systems like lane-keeping, collision warning, and adaptive cruise control to function safely and reliably.
Check your vehicle's handbook or ask your dealer's service centre whether your car has a forward-facing camera system that requires calibration after windscreen replacement. Look for driver-assistance features like lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control on the dashboard menu.
When a windscreen with an integrated or bracket-mounted camera is replaced, the camera's alignment can shift. Static calibration realigns the camera using indoor target boards, which must be performed in a workshop environment where printed targets can be positioned and secured at precise distances. This procedure is conducted after the windscreen is fitted and bonded. The workshop booking accommodates the additional time required for calibration, and we apply the no-split policy — both replacement and calibration happen at the same location on the same visit.
A printed VIN reference box along the bottom edge of your windscreen helps identify your vehicle's chassis number at a glance.
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.
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.
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.
The Kia xCeed has been in production since 2018, offering a compact crossover design that blends SUV practicality with saloon comfort. Early xCeed models from 2018–2022 feature straightforward laminated windscreens with VIN notching along the base.
From around 2020 onwards, Kia began integrating its DriveWise ADAS suite across the range, introducing a forward-facing mono camera mounted on the windscreen for lane departure warning and forward collision-avoidance assist. This camera sits behind the rear-view mirror bracket and requires static calibration after glass replacement.
All xCeed variants carry a green-tinted windscreen and are right-hand-drive specific for the UK market, meaning brackets and sensors align correctly without adjustment.
