Windshield replacement needs recalibration of my ACC radar sensors?

[Dirt]

Purchased a CPO A6 about a year ago, noticed the lane-keeping assist pushed the car too far to the right. Dealer found that the windshield had been replaced with non-OEM glass causing the cam/sensor to be out of spec. They mentioned that only OEM glass has the clarity needed for the cam/sensor. Luckily they replaced with new glass and did the recalibration for free. Took 3-weeks to get the glass from Germany, and would have cost $1,400 just for the glass.

I was also told the windshield was $1400.

My insurance paid for authentic glass due to the HUD and acoustic nature. It was roughly $1,200 + $300 installation + $500 for recalibration, total ~ $2,000. Thankful for only a $100 deductible...

Sounds about right, and happy to hear your deductible was only $100. Believe it or not, FL law requires insurance companies to replace windshields at no cost to the owner ($0 deductible).

Did the same on my S7 with OEM Glass. Cost was ~$1700 out the door... negotiate guys. Everything’s negotiable if you have the threat of substitution.

Yep, I'm originally from central Florida. Also no state income tax, but you have to deal with the tourists. And the other Florida drivers... lol.
