EV windscreen replacement and camera calibration

A windscreen claim can involve glass, camera mounts and calibration. The work required depends on the vehicle and manufacturer repair procedure.

Before booking glass replacement

Ask the repairer to identify the exact windscreen specification and whether the camera or related driver-assistance equipment requires calibration. A glass replacement quote should explain which diagnostics and calibration work it includes.

Questions for the insurer

Check whether glass cover is included or optional, whether a separate excess applies and whether there are limits on claims or approved repairers. Ask specifically how required calibration is handled; do not assume an advertised glass benefit answers every part of the repair.

Collect the repair record

Request an invoice identifying the glass and any completed diagnostic or calibration steps. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for warnings and restricted assistance functions after the repair. Ask the repairer to resolve unexplained warnings before treating the job as complete.
