Does Windshield Replacement Require ADAS Calibration?

When a windshield is replaced on a vehicle with a glass-mounted camera, the ADAS camera almost always must be recalibrated to OEM spec. Here's when, why, and what the OEMs require.

Static vs Dynamic ADAS Calibration, Explained

Static calibration uses mounted targets in the shop; dynamic calibration uses a guided road drive. Many vehicles require both. Here's how each works and why it can't be guessed.

Why OEMs Require Pre- and Post-Repair Scans

When Is ADAS Recalibration Required?

ADAS recalibration is required any time a sensor is disturbed — collision, glass replacement, alignment, suspension, bumper or sensor R&R, or a stored fault. Here are the triggers and how they vary by make.
