Cheap Volkswagen Up Windscreen

The Volkswagen Up had a facelift in 2016, which can affect windscreen compatibility, so a pre-2016 screen is not guaranteed to fit a 2016 or later car. The key things to check are whether both screens have matching ADAS camera or rain sensor brackets, as the facelifted cars were more likely to be fitted with these. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

Both years sit within the post-2016 facelift generation of the Up, so the basic screen shape should be the same. However, you still need to check whether both cars have heated windscreens and matching ADAS camera brackets, as these features were optional and not fitted to every car. Always confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker.

No, the trim level — whether your car is a Take Up, Move Up, High Up, or GTI — does not affect which windscreen you need. What matters is the model generation, and whether your car has a heated windscreen or ADAS camera bracket fitted. Bear in mind that a screen sourced from a different trim car may or may not have those features, so check this carefully with the breaker.

If your car does not have an ADAS camera, a screen with a camera bracket will still physically fit, but you may be left with an unused bracket and a minor cosmetic difference on the inside of the glass. The reverse — fitting a screen without a bracket when your car needs one — is more of a problem, as your camera will have nothing to mount to. Confirm whether the donor screen matches your setup with the breaker using your registration.

A non-heated screen will not have the electrical connectors or heating elements, so it will not be a functional like-for-like replacement if your car was built with a heated windscreen. You can use a non-heated screen in terms of glass fit, but you will lose the heating function entirely. Make sure you tell the breaker whether your original screen is heated so they can source the correct part.

The Volkswagen Up shares the same windscreen across its body styles, as the screen sits in the same aperture regardless of how many doors the car has. What matters more is the generation and whether features like heating elements or an ADAS camera bracket are present. Confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker to be sure.
