Jaguar XJ-S Windshield Replacement Cost

The Jaguar XJ-S, later known as the XJS, was first launched in 1975, succeeding the legendary E-Type. Its production spanned over two decades, marking it as a symbol of luxury and performance. Notably, the XJ-S wasn’t just about speed; it also had a starring role in popular media, appearing in television shows and films throughout its lifespan. Despite initial criticism for its departure from the E-Type’s styling, the XJ-S carved out its own legacy, attracting a dedicated following of enthusiasts.

When considering the windshield replacement cost for a Jaguar XJ-S, several factors come into play. The presence of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features in more recent models can significantly impact costs. Although early versions of the XJ-S did not include these systems, later models, especially from the late 1980s and 1990s, could include features like rain-sensing wipers or heated windshields, which necessitate specific replacement parts or sensors, thus increasing the overall replacement cost.

The trim level of the XJ-S also impacts windshield replacement costs. Higher trim levels often incorporate additional amenities such as sunroofs or unique windshield tints, which can result in more expensive parts and labor. Availability of aftermarket parts can significantly affect pricing as well; if genuine Jaguar parts are required, this typically results in higher costs than generic alternatives.

Model year changes are particularly influential; the facelift in 1991, which updated the design and introduced new technologies, can mean different windshield specifications. Additionally, the availability of vintage parts for the early production years may be limited, driving costs higher. Understanding these nuances is crucial for anyone navigating the costs of windshield replacement for this iconic British luxury car.

Jaguar XJ-S Windshield Replacement Cost By Year

Not all windshields are created equal, so it makes sense that not all replacements cost the same. Depending on the vehicle and the technology built into the glass, replacement prices can vary significantly. Here’s how we break it down:

High-End Range
Some vehicles—especially newer or luxury models—are equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), like lane-keeping cameras, rain sensors, heads-up displays, and built-in heating elements. These features require original equipment manufacturer (OEM) glass and a complete ADAS recalibration after installation. Because of the specialized parts and labor involved, these replacements fall at the top end of the price range.

Mid-Range
Many modern cars come with a few standard features—such as forward collision sensors or lane departure cameras—that require basic recalibration after the windshield is replaced. These windshields typically don’t require OEM glass but do involve some extra steps beyond a simple install, which puts them in the moderate price range.

Low-End Range
Older vehicles or base models often have a simpler setup: plain laminated glass without any built-in electronics or sensors. These windshields are the most straightforward to replace, and therefore, fall into the lowest price tier.

Year Maximum Price Average Price Minimum Price
1996$330.00$330.00$330.00
1995$330.00$330.00$330.00
1994$330.00$330.00$330.00
