Price variation across Almera variants is driven mainly by windscreen tinting and coating options. Models with a simple green tint are the most affordable; variants with light green or blue sun strips carry a modest premium because the tint variants are sourced separately.
Solar-control coating, where fitted, adds to the replacement cost due to its thermal-absorption properties and sourcing specificity. Generation differences (1996–2007 span) can also influence availability, but all active variants in our network are readily sourced.

Replacing your Almera windscreen is straightforward and typically completed in a single visit.
Provide your Almera's details via our quick online quiz — make, model, year, and any visible glass features. The widget identifies your exact windscreen variant in under 60 seconds.
Our parts-check team verifies the glass specification matches your factory original, confirming tint type and any coating.
You're matched with an approved fitter in your area who sources the correct replacement glass.
On fitting day, the technician removes the damaged windscreen, cleans the frame, bonds the replacement with polyurethane adhesive, and confirms the drive-away time before leaving.
Your replacement is covered by a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality. The fitter will discuss any aftercare steps needed.
The whole process — from quote to booking to completion — is designed to take the hassle out of windscreen replacement.
The Almera windscreen does not require ADAS camera calibration because the Almera sits outside Nissan's camera-equipped range. This means fitting can take place at your preferred location — mobile at your address or at a workshop, depending on your convenience and the technician's availability.
Most Almera replacements are completed mobile, with no need for a workshop visit. Your fitter will confirm the preferred location and timing at booking.

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.
A factory light-green tint found on some Japanese vehicles, distinct from standard European green and stocked separately.
Light green is a tint applied to the windscreen during manufacturing on certain Japanese-market vehicles. It differs subtly in colour and hue from the standard green tint used on European vehicles. This tint serves the same purpose as any factory tint — reducing glare, heat ingress, and UV exposure — but represents a distinct regional specification. Because the colour match must be precise, UKCG stocks and supplies light-green windscreens as a separate variant. Using a standard green tint on a vehicle that left the factory with light green will result in a visible colour mismatch.
Check your vehicle's original windscreen or consult your handbook or dealership service records. If your car is a Japanese make and the windscreen has a noticeably light greenish tint (rather than the standard neutral or slightly amber European green), you have a light-green windscreen. The tint is visible when you look through the glass at an angle or compare it side-by-side with a standard-green vehicle.
Light-green windscreen replacement requires an exact colour match to maintain consistency with the rest of the vehicle's glazing and exterior appearance. Standard green tints are not interchangeable. UKCG sources the correct light-green variant to your specific vehicle, ensuring seamless integration. No calibration is required — tint is a cosmetic and thermal property of the glass itself and does not affect safety systems or sensors.
Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
Solar control is a coating applied to the windscreen that absorbs the sun's infrared radiation rather than allowing it to pass through into the cabin. This reduces solar heat gain, helping to keep the interior cooler and more comfortable, particularly in warm weather or direct sunlight. The coating is transparent to visible light, so it doesn't darken the windscreen or affect visibility. It's a passive thermal management feature that works continuously whenever the sun is shining on the glass.
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or contact your dealership service centre to confirm whether solar control glass is fitted. Some manufacturers list it as 'solar control windscreen', 'heat-reflective glass', or 'thermal management glass'. It's a factory-fitted feature and won't be visibly obvious from outside the car — the coating is integral to the glass itself.
Solar control glass is a factory-fitted specification. When replacing the windscreen, a solar control variant must be sourced to match the original. This is a standard glass type with no special fitting implications or calibration requirements. Cure and drive-away times follow normal windscreen bonding procedures. Confirm with your fitter that the replacement glass includes solar control to maintain the original thermal performance.
The Nissan Almera has been in continuous production since 1996, evolving through multiple generations with steady refinements to windscreen design and safety features. Early models carried straightforward laminated windscreens with minimal tinting, while later variants from the early 2000s onwards introduced green-tinted glass as standard — a feature that reduces glare and gives the windscreen its characteristic subtle hue.
Most Almera windscreens in our catalogue carry a green tint, with some variants offering light green (a distinctly different hue favoured on Japanese-market models) or a blue sun strip running across the top to reduce overhead glare. A minority of later models added solar-control coating to absorb infrared rays and reduce cabin heat.
The Almera sits outside Nissan's ADAS-equipped range — ProPILOT Assist and Intelligent Mobility systems are fitted to larger models like the Qashqai and X-Trail, not the Almera. This means straightforward windscreen replacement with no camera calibration required.
