Consumer Tip: Windshield Replacement

Описание: A windshield replacement isn’t as simple as it once was, and there are often specific steps and materials your repair facility needs to follow to properly install your glass and restore the many state-of-the-art features that enhance occupant safety. Windshield and glass often plays an integral role in the performance and functionality of

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and everything from the curvature of the glass, the layers, coatings and even the tint can affect how those systems perceive the road and your surroundings. Many manufacturers may specify the use of only specific types of glass or adhesives, that were designed and built to ensure a confident fit and performance that work properly with other safety functions. It is ok to ask “does my vehicle manufacturer mandate a specific type of glass?” Your repair facility should be able to help provide you documentation.



Additional labor operations, such as calibrations associated with windshield replacements, must also be completed in order for the ADAS systems like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems like Lane-Keeping, Pre-Collision Assist, Automatic Braking, Evasive Steering Assist, Auto High-Beam Headlamps and Head-up Displays to function correctly. This is often a result of cameras mounted behind the windshield.
