Excellent service from first enquiry…
Excellent service from first enquiry through to fitting. I was sceptical at first and carried out various checks. All proved positive. 11/10. Highly recommended.

Prices vary depending on which variant features you need matched — whether your RX 400 has a heated windscreen, green sun strip, or heated wiper rest area all influence the final quote. Right-hand-drive specific parts and silkscreen modifications (camera or sensor bracket adjustments) on some variants also affect pricing. The technician's parts-check team confirms your exact specification before sourcing the glass.
| Year | Price range | Variants | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | £452 — £452 | 1 variant | Price my 2008 |
| 2007 | £452 — £452 | 1 variant | Price my 2007 |
The displayed range is an indicator — the final price is produced by the quote form after you confirm your variant. Older RX 400s can still be booked.

Our parts-check team confirms your windscreen specification, including green tint, sun strip, heated elements, and any sensor brackets.
A specialist technician arrives on your chosen day and replaces the glass, typically in 45–90 minutes depending on your vehicle.
Your fitter confirms the minimum drive-away time before leaving — you'll be back on the road the same day.
All replacements come with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Most RX 400 windscreen replacements can be carried out at your home or workplace as a mobile visit. However, some variants in our system may have features requiring static camera calibration after replacement, depending on the specific year and trim.
If calibration is required, the job will be scheduled at a nearby workshop so the technician can use a target board to align the camera system safely. This ensures your vehicle's safety systems are working correctly after the glass is fitted.

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.
Heating elements embedded in the glass melt ice from your wipers and the bottom of your windscreen.
A heated wiper rest area uses electric heating elements embedded into the windscreen in the area where your wipers park when not in use. These elements warm the glass to prevent ice and frost from bonding to the wiper blades and the lower windscreen edge during cold weather. This reduces the effort needed to clear ice in the morning and helps protect your wipers from damage caused by frozen adhesion to the glass.
Check your windscreen's lower edge where the wipers rest — you may see faint heating lines or elements visible in the glass. Your handbook or service history will confirm the feature. You can also ask your dealer or service centre whether your vehicle is equipped with a heated wiper rest area.
When replacing a windscreen with a heated wiper rest area, the replacement glass must include the heating elements. Aftermarket and OE glazing suppliers offer this feature, but availability varies by vehicle. The heating system does not require calibration after replacement, though the technician will ensure the heating element connections are properly restored during installation.
Your wipers automatically activate when rain falls on the windscreen.
A rain sensor is a device mounted on or behind the windscreen that detects moisture and triggers the wiper system automatically. The sensor uses infrared light to measure water droplets on the glass surface and signals the vehicle's electrical system to engage the wipers without driver input. This feature improves safety in sudden downpours and reduces driver workload in variable weather conditions.
Check your windscreen for a small sensor unit, usually mounted near the top centre behind the glass or at the base of the mirror. Look for a small dark component or lens. If your vehicle has automatic wipers that activate without you toggling the stalk, you have a rain sensor. Ask your dealer or service centre to confirm; they can check your vehicle records or wiper module settings.
Rain sensors are non-structural elements and do not require recalibration after windscreen replacement. The sensor bracket or mounting may need careful removal and reinstallation to ensure it sits correctly behind the new glass. If the sensor itself is damaged during removal, a replacement unit may be needed. Your fitter will confirm the condition and refit or replace the sensor as part of the standard replacement procedure.
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 Lexus RX 400 was in production from 2003 to 2009, establishing itself as a premium compact SUV with distinctive glass features across its generation run.
All variants came with green-tinted windscreens and heated wiper rest areas as standard. A rain sensor was also fitted to both active variants in our catalogue, supporting the RX's comfort-focused design. Most models included a VIN notch at the bottom of the windscreen for identification purposes.
Half of the variants in our system carry a green sun strip — a tinted gradient band at the top of the windscreen — and some feature heated windscreen technology. Both of these are premium comfort options that must be matched exactly during replacement to preserve the original driving experience.
