Is ADAS recalibration needed after windshield replacement?

For a Lexington vehicle, it depends on the vehicle and manufacturer procedure. When a windshield-mounted camera or related system is affected, the applicable instructions may require static calibration, dynamic calibration, both, or other checks; this site does not provide calibration or verify any provider’s capability.

Why calibration comes up

Removing or replacing glass can change a camera’s relationship to the vehicle. Manufacturer procedures may call for static calibration, dynamic calibration, both, or other checks.

Capabilities must be verified

This website is not a calibration provider and does not claim that any routed provider has calibration equipment or capability. Ask who performs the procedure, where it occurs, which instructions are followed, and what documentation is provided.

  • Vehicle-specific procedure source
  • Pre- and post-scan approach when applicable
  • Alignment, tire, fuel, load, target, road, and weather conditions
  • Calibration report and handling of incomplete results

General guidance

Do not infer system readiness

A cleared warning light alone does not establish that every required procedure is complete. Follow vehicle warnings and consult qualified professionals.

Only an in-person assessment by a qualified auto-glass technician can determine the appropriate work for a particular vehicle.

This guide is not a repair shop. A request may later be shared with an independent provider only after that provider is verified and routing is enabled.
