Why Windshield Replacement and Calibration Matter
Your vehicle’s windshield is much more than just a shield from the elements. It plays a key role in your car’s structural integrity, helping to support the roof during a rollover accident and assisting in the proper deployment of airbags. A properly installed and calibrated windshield can save lives in the event of a crash. Windshield replacement and calibration ensure that both the glass and any safety systems connected to it are functioning as they should.
If you’re driving a newer vehicle, your windshield is likely equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). These systems include features such as lane departure warning, forward collision alerts, and automatic emergency braking. Calibration is necessary after a windshield replacement to ensure that these systems continue to operate correctly. Without proper calibration, the effectiveness of these systems could be compromised, putting you and anyone else in your vehicle at risk.
Understanding the Process of Windshield Replacement
When your windshield needs replacement, it’s essential to understand what’s involved in the process. The first step is to remove the damaged glass. This requires precision and care, as improperly removing the old windshield can cause further damage to your vehicle’s frame or wiring, especially when dealing with advanced features like sensors and cameras.
Once the old windshield is removed, the next step is the installation of the new one. We use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the new windshield is a perfect fit. The installation process involves applying adhesive around the perimeter of the windshield to hold it in place securely. After this, the windshield is carefully placed in the frame, ensuring it sits perfectly. Proper and precise installation is crucial for your safety, so it’s essential to rely on experienced professionals to perform the replacement.

The Importance of Precision in Calibration
Windshield replacement and calibration go hand in hand. Calibration involves altering and adjusting the cameras and sensors that are often mounted on or near the windshield to ensure that they are aligned correctly. These sensors play a vital role in your car’s safety systems. Without accurate calibration, you could experience issues with the functionality of systems like adaptive cruise control or automatic emergency braking.
Modern vehicles tend to be equipped with increasingly sophisticated safety features, all of which rely on precise calibration of the windshield-mounted sensors. As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive service, we offer precision windshield-mounted camera recalibration. Our expert technicians make sure that the sensors are correctly calibrated, allowing your vehicle’s safety systems to function as they should.

Avoiding harsh cleaning chemicals and using proper cleaning tools can help keep your glass from getting scratched and other damage.
Additionally, make sure to get any chips or cracks repaired as soon as they appear.
