Genuine OEM Windshield Replacement
The windshield's crucial role in driver protection mandates its replacement with an OEM Genuine option, expertly installed for safety. Unsure about your windshield? AutoCanada Collision Centre aids in sourcing and installing the right one. Genuine OEM windshields are essential, integrating seamlessly with advanced vehicle tech like head-up displays, accident avoidance sensors, rain sensors, antennas, and heating elements, unlike other options that may compromise functionality.
It’s About Safety
Why should a genuine OEM windshield be used for repairs?
Most glass repair shops use "Aftermarket" windshields which may not match Genuine OEM in design, quality, fit, and safety. Our tested windshields ensure collision rigidity; aftermarket may lack such testing. Recalibrate your camera with our OEM-designed diagnostic computer to maintain Safety Sense functions. Non-OEM installs risk misaligned and unfocused cameras.
What happens if the safety system camera isn’t recalibrated?
If the camera isn’t aimed in the proper position, safety systems may not function as intended. For example, Lane Departure Alert uses the camera in the windshield to scan the road for markings and lines to help keep your vehicle within a lane. If it’s in the wrong position, it may think the vehicle is drifting from its lane and alert you, causing confusion or an accident.
Will an aftermarket windshield affect a vehicle’s warranty?
Yes. If the aftermarket windshield leads to damage to other systems, then the OEM warranty will not cover the damage. If your windshield repair costs are being covered by an Insurance provider or another source, insist on an OEM windshield. And if your vehicle is equipped with a safety system, insist the camera and sensors are calibrated by AutoCanada.
