Expert calibration for advanced safety systems after windscreen replacement
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use cameras and sensors often mounted on or behind your windscreen to provide safety features like:
When your windscreen is replaced, these cameras and sensors need to be precisely recalibrated to ensure they function correctly. Even a slight misalignment can compromise your vehicle's safety systems.
Driving without proper ADAS calibration after windscreen replacement can lead to:
At UK Windscreens, we provide comprehensive ADAS calibration as part of our windscreen replacement service for vehicles that require it.

Everything you need to know about getting your windscreen replaced
A standard windscreen replacement typically takes between 1-2 hours to complete. However, vehicles with complex features like rain sensors, heating elements, or ADAS cameras may take longer due to the additional setup and calibration required.
We recommend waiting at least 1 hour before driving after windscreen replacement to allow the adhesive to initially set. For optimal safety, it's best to wait 24 hours before driving at high speeds or on rough roads. Our technicians will provide specific guidance based on the adhesive used and weather conditions.
We use high-quality, manufacturer-approved glass that matches your original windscreen in terms of size, shape, and features. Any tinting, shading, or special features like rain sensors or heating elements will be preserved. In most cases, your new windscreen will be indistinguishable from the original.
Light rain usually isn't a problem as our technicians can work under portable shelters. However, heavy rain or extreme weather conditions may require rescheduling as moisture can affect the bonding process. We'll always contact you in advance if weather conditions might impact your appointment.
While a full car clean isn't necessary, it's helpful to clear the area around your windscreen both inside and out. Remove any valuables from the dashboard and ensure there's enough space for the technician to work. Our technicians will protect your vehicle's interior and clean up thoroughly after the installation.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass is made by the same manufacturer that supplied your vehicle's original windscreen. Aftermarket glass is made by third-party manufacturers to similar specifications. We offer both options, with OEM glass providing an exact match to your original windscreen, while quality aftermarket glass offers a more cost-effective alternative without compromising safety.
