Toyota Picnic windscreen price, by year
Price variation on Picnic windscreen replacement is driven mainly by the presence or absence of the blue sun strip. Models with the sun-strip variant require the exact tinted-gradient glass to match the original factory spec; non-sun-strip variants are more widely available in aftermarket stock.

| 2001 | £340 — £357 | 2 variants | Price my 2001 |

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Picnic?

Blue Sun Strip1
1996–2001A blue-tinted gradient band across the top of your windscreen that reduces glare without affecting your view of the road.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Green1
1996–2001Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
Light Green1
1996–2001A factory light-green tint found on some Japanese vehicles, distinct from standard European green and stocked separately.
What it means
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.
How to tell
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.
Replacement impact
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.
About the Toyota Picnic
The Toyota Picnic was produced from 1996 to 2001 as a compact MPV, offering flexible seating and practical glazing for family use. Windscreens across the production run feature laminated safety glass as standard, with some variants carrying a blue sun strip to reduce glare from above without affecting the driver's main view.
Earlier Picnic models carry straightforward tinted windscreens, while later examples may feature enhanced optics. The windscreen is a single-unit design with no integrated driver-assistance cameras — fitting is straightforward without the need for post-replacement calibration.
