The Carisma's windscreen costs reflect its generation and tint specification. All variants carry green tint as standard, and half the range includes the blue sun strip. Replacement glass must match the exact tint and sun-strip configuration of the original — this precision matching is factored into pricing.

Most Carisma windscreen replacements can be fitted at your home or workplace on a mobile basis, as the Carisma predates ADAS camera systems and requires no post-replacement calibration. If you prefer a workshop visit for any reason — weather, convenience, or access — that's available too. Your fitter will confirm the arrangement when you book.

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 Mitsubishi Carisma was in continuous production from 1996 to 2004, serving as a compact family saloon across European and Asian markets. All Carisma windscreens feature a green tint — a subtle factory specification that reduces glare without significantly altering visibility.
Most Carismas in our catalogue also carry a blue sun strip, a gradient band across the top of the windscreen that further cuts glare from above. This sun strip is built into the laminated glass itself and must be matched on replacement — a plain windscreen will not replicate the effect.
Because the Carisma predates modern ADAS systems, windscreen replacement is straightforward — no camera calibration required. Specialists on our network source glass matching your factory specification and can typically fit the job within a couple of hours.
