Tips
- ✓ADAS recalibration: if your car has a camera behind the rear-view mirror (lane-keep assist, auto braking), budget an extra $200-$2,000+ to recalibrate it after the glass is fitted
- ✓Small chips (under a $2 coin, roughly 10mm) can often be repaired for $50-$150 instead of replacing the whole windscreen
- ✓Don't drive for at least 1 hour after fitting - the urethane adhesive needs time to cure
- ✓Ask for OEM-quality glass. Cheap aftermarket glass can cause wind noise and distort the ADAS camera view
- ✓Check your comprehensive insurance - many Australian policies include windscreen cover with no excess and no impact on your no-claim bonus
