What Is an Electronic Windshield?
An electronic windshield, often called a "smart" windshield, is far more than just glass. It houses a suite of sensors, cameras, and antennas for systems like lane departure warnings, automatic braking, rain sensors, and even heads-up displays (HUD). These components are integral to your vehicle’s Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), making a proper, expert replacement absolutely vital for your safety and the car's complete electronic functionality.
The Role of ADAS in Modern Windshields
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) directly rely on the forward-facing cameras and sensors mounted on your windshield to constantly monitor the vehicle's surroundings. Features like adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and collision avoidance depend entirely on a clear, unobstructed, and perfectly calibrated view. Even a minor chip or an improper installation can compromise these critical safety features, putting you and your passengers at significant risk on the road.
Why Professional Replacement Is Crucial
Replacing an electronic windshield is not a standard glass job; it's a precise technical procedure. Incorrect installation can lead to malfunctioning safety features, persistent water leaks, wind noise, or complex electrical issues. Our Sika-certified technicians use specialized tools and follow stringent protocols to ensure your new windshield is installed to exact manufacturer specifications. Don't compromise on your vehicle's integrity—schedule your service with our experts today.
Our Electronic Windshield Replacement Process
Our meticulous process begins with carefully removing the old, damaged windshield while protecting the vehicle's frame and paint. We then thoroughly clean and prime the frame to ensure a perfect, rust-free bond for a permanent seal. After expertly installing the new OEM-quality glass, we perform the most critical final step: the static or dynamic recalibration of the ADAS camera, ensuring all systems work perfectly.

The Importance of ADAS Recalibration
After a new windshield is installed, the ADAS camera must be recalibrated to ensure its aim and accuracy are perfect. We perform both static (in-shop) and dynamic (on-road) recalibrations, depending on your vehicle's specific requirements. Even a millimeter of difference can cause the system to misinterpret data, affecting crucial functions. Our precise recalibration restores your vehicle’s safety systems to original factory settings, guaranteeing your peace of mind.
