Windscreen Replacement
Windscreen replacement fits a new windscreen bonded into the body.
What is Windscreen Replacement?
Cracks in the driver view often require it. Cameras may need calibration. Adhesive needs curing time. The windscreen is part of the body structure and supports the airbag, so correct bonding matters for safety. Cars with lane cameras usually need recalibration after replacement, either on a static target or by a driving procedure. Heated screens, rain sensors, head-up displays and acoustic layers require the matching glass type. Insurers often cover glass separately.
How it works
The old glass is cut out and the new one is bonded.
Why it matters for your car
Wait the safe drive-away time. Use correct glass with features.
