If your vehicle has any of the ADAS features listed below, it will require calibration upon installation of a new windshield.

A vehicle’s computer relies on the cameras/radars/lasers used by the ADAS being in the correct alignment to function properly, but does not automatically adjust them itself. Calibration guides the vehicle’s computer & ensures these systems are working properly. When a windshield is replaced, the camera should be removed from the bracket & unplugged from the car. After the replacement is completed, the camera needs to be reattached & recalibrated.

If a vehicles’s ADAS is not properly calibrated, the system may not function safely. If the cameras/radars/lasers on the vehicle are off by even a few millimeters they may not give accurate readings and the system may not function properly.

Depending on the type of calibration & the specific vehicle, calibration can take more than 3 hours.
