The windshield is one of the most critical components of any automobile on the road today. In addition to shielding the driver and vehicle occupants from the weather and wind, it also provides the first round of defense against airborne debris on the roads. In the unfortunate event of encountering debris that cracks the windshield to the point of not being stable or usable, the auto owner will need to pursue a full windshield replacement service to get the car back to a drivable condition.

WHAT IS ADAS WINDSCREEN CALIBRATION?
Some advanced vehicles with ‘lane departure’ or ‘lane-keep assist will have a camera on their front and rear windshields. This camera needs to be calibrated to realign the accuracy of the windscreen with the lanes on the road. This re-alignment is called ADAS Windscreen Calibration.
An uncalibrated windshield might show the following error messages.
1- A warning light
2- Error message on the instrument panel
3- A diagnostic trouble code
4- Steering wheel vibration
5- Vehicle steering pull
6- Increased effort while steering
Obstacles like these can prompt a driver to lose trust in a car’s capacity to provide safe transportation.
Have a Chip or Crack in Your Window?
With modern technology it’s now possible to repair your windshield without the need for a replacement. Rock chips are repaired using a tool that injects special resin into the window, sealing the chip and preventing further cracking. Not only does chip repair save your windshield, but it also saves you money. If you’re in california call Route 66 Auto Glass today and one of our windshield technicians will help determine if windshield chip repair can save your windshield.
HOW DOES A ROCK CHIP REPAIR WORK?
A rock chip can sometimes be minor in size, and sometimes it can be as significant to take away your entire windshield. Did you know that rock chip damage around an inch or smaller can typically be repaired?
Yes! If it’s small enough to be repaired, it can save you the cost of the entire windshield. In contrast, some more substantial size chips may be repairable too. Anything too extensive or with notable cracks probably is not fixable, unfortunately, and will require a replacement.
Your car’s windows roll up and down at the touch of a button. Magic? Nope, it’s a mechanism called the window regulator, a mechanical track, guide, and electric motor that raises and lowers the glass. If your window is opening or closing slowly, making noises, or even getting stuck, it could be your window regulator. Age, lack of lubrication, and abuse are the usual suspects for premature failure. Keep in mind: if your window is gradually slowing down but can still close, it’s best to get it checked out before it stops working altogether or, worse, it gets stuck wide open. Because once a regulator stops working completely, it rarely starts working again.
