Advanced Driver(s) Assistance Systems (ADAS) in vehicles is becoming increasingly popular. These systems rely upon cameras, lasers, and radar – often with the camera mounting to the windshield. Any time a new windshield is installed, the camera must be calibrated to ensure proper functionality and to restore the camera to OEM specifications.
Glass One is the region’s only glass installer to provide calibration service. This means no extra trips to the dealership to have your new glass calibrated to keep your vehicle operating safely.

Calibration is the process of returning a vehicle’s ADAS to OEM specifications
Calibration is necessary after a new glass installation, particularly a windshield with a camera mounted to it, to ensure that the ADAS features continue to function properly despite having been moved during installation
A vehicle’s computer relies on the cameras/radars/lasers used by the ADAS being in the correct alignment to function properly, but does not automatically adjust them itself
Calibration guides the vehicle’s computer & ensures these systems are working properly
When a windshield is replaced, the camera should be removed from the bracket & unplugged from the car. After the replacement is completed, the camera needs to be reattached & recalibrated. If this is not performed by the installer, consumers will have to go to the dealer to have the vehicle calibrated*
If a car’s ADAS is not properly calibrated, the system may not function safely
If the cameras/radars/lasers on the vehicle are off by even a few millimeters they may not give accurate readings and the system may not function properly, leaving the installer with potential liability
Depending on the type of calibration & the specific vehicle, calibration can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 3+ hours.
Glass One is the only installer to also offer calibration services. With other glass installers, you will have to schedule an appointment with your dealership to have your auto glass calibrated and operating safely.
