Second Hand Hyundai Tucson Windscreen

The Tucson runs across three main generations: the first generation (JM) from 2004–2010, the second generation (LM/ix35 platform) from 2010–2015, and the third generation (TL) from 2015–2020, with a facelift in 2018, followed by the fourth generation (NX4) from 2021 onwards. Windscreens are not interchangeable across these generation boundaries, so always confirm the generation of the car you are sourcing from with the breaker. Within a generation, the physical glass shape is generally shared, but heated and ADAS fitment differences can still make a specific screen incompatible.

Both the 2017 and 2019 Tucson sit within the third generation TL range (2015–2020), with the facelift arriving in 2018, so the glass aperture is the same across the pre- and post-facelift cars. However, the facelift period coincides with wider fitment of ADAS camera brackets and heated windscreen elements, so a pre-facelift screen could be missing the bracket or heating connections your car needs. Check exactly what is mounted to your current windscreen and confirm with the breaker that the used screen matches before buying.

No, trim level does not affect windscreen fitment on the Tucson — the glass is shared across trim names such as S, SE, SE Nav, Premium, and Premium SE within the same generation. What does matter is whether your car has a heated windscreen or an ADAS camera bracket fitted, as these are options that can appear across trim levels rather than being restricted to one. A screen from a lower trim car may simply lack the heating elements or camera mount yours requires, so check your existing screen and tell the breaker what features it has.

The ADAS camera bracket is a small plastic or metal mount, usually positioned at the top centre of the windscreen on the interior face, that holds the forward-facing camera used for lane assist, autonomous emergency braking, and similar systems. If your car has these driver assistance features, you need a replacement screen with a compatible bracket — fitting a screen without one means the camera cannot be remounted correctly. You should confirm with the breaker that the bracket on the used screen is compatible with your specific ADAS system, as bracket design can vary and this is not something to assume.

No — the NX4 fourth generation Tucson introduced in 2021 has a different body and screen aperture to the third generation TL, so the windscreens are not interchangeable. Always source a screen confirmed to the correct generation, and give the breaker your registration number so they can verify the exact match. Mixing generations is one of the most common mistakes with windscreen sourcing and will result in a screen that simply will not fit.

The rain sensor patch — the darkened or treated area on the glass where the rain sensor sits — needs to be present on the replacement screen if your car uses a rain sensor, otherwise the sensor will not bond or read correctly. Whether your car's particular rain sensor and camera setup is fully compatible with a specific used screen is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as sensor and bracket specifications can vary even within the same generation. Don't assume any screen marked as having a sensor patch will suit your exact system.
