Quick answer
If your vehicle has ADAS features that rely on windshield-mounted cameras, recalibration is often required after replacement.

ADAS systems such as lane departure warning, forward collision alerts, and adaptive cruise can depend on camera alignment through the windshield.
After replacement, calibration ensures those systems read road conditions accurately. Skipping calibration can affect safety feature performance.
We check vehicle requirements and coordinate calibration support when needed so your system works as intended.
At Glow Auto Glass, static ADAS calibration is $250, dynamic calibration is $275, and a combined static-and-dynamic calibration is $395.
Both OEM and reputable aftermarket windshields can be safe choices when the glass matches your vehicle, is installed correctly, and required ADAS calibration is completed.
In many cases, edge cracks require windshield replacement because edge damage weakens structural support and is more likely to spread.
Most vehicles should wait about 30 to 60 minutes after replacement, but exact safe drive-away time depends on adhesive and weather conditions.
