I have a 2017 Subaru Outback that has lots of safety features. Can anyone tell me if the car’s camera really needs to be re-calibrated when the windshield is replaced? My windshield has a crack in it. Needs to be replaced. Safelite is telling me that when a windshield is replaced, the camera has to…

OK. Thank you all. I’ll see if insurance will cover it. I just think $750 to replace a windshield is outrageous. My commute to work is mostly interstate so that means a lot of windshield damage. I wish I could buy a new Subaru that doesn’t have all the safety features. I have lane assist turned off…

[image] xcountry_us_154727: I just think $750 to replace a windshield is outrageous You might think that but, no. I replaced a windshield in 1994 on my Saturn Coupe. It cost $721 and that car did not have any fancy camera systems. Heck, it was a $13,000 car. In today’s money, that windshield …

Insurance WILL cover recalibration. Let them determine if the price is “fair” They constantly deal with all glass replacement firms. Some batteries require calibration when replaced.

Yes, it needs to be calibrated every time the windshield is replaced. I recommend you join subarforester. org as well and keep an eye on the posts. Many have similar problems, may end up as a class action lawsuit. If this happens again, go for aftermarket windshield. A rough estimate I have heard i…

[image] Noelm: Its amazing how people go in and out of the lane and get annoyed if you try to alert them by a quick honk. Same if you give a quick honk to tell them “get off the phone the light has been green”.

if this is already your second windshield in a 2017 car, you may want to do a self- check your driving style. Not saying it is absolutely your fault, but if you tailgate a lot, replacing windshields may be a problem you face more often than needed… Some of my drivers at work like to tailgate, and …

I asked at the time… sort of a low volume car, big windshield, complicated corner bends was the answer I got. I had one replaced in our Saab, $300. One in my Honda S2000, $240! That was a simple piece of glass. I was surprised that the glass places in Ohio were always $200 cheaper for self pay. Ver…

back in the late 90’s my mom had a 91 Firebird, and a neighbor kid tossed a baseball and busted the rear glass. $2100 for a new one… but that glass was also the trunk lid, lol

A while back I did that to an older lady who sat through a half a cycle of the light she gave me the one finger salute.
