Re: Warning !

My concern is what happens with the mobile glass installers when the vehicle requires recalibration. The current cost of equipment is too much for single operators and even if they can do dynamic calibration many models require static calibration in shop.

Right now, I believe all 2020 models have to have LDWS and will need recalibration. At some time, even if the installer tells the customer to have the dealer recalibrate the glass, someone will have an accident and sue the glass shop.

Even worse, in cases where the car owner does not have glass insurance, the car owner will have to pay out of pocket for the recalibration which, in many cases, will cost more than the windshield. Even here, the glass shop is probably at risk for allowing an unsafe vehicle on the road.

This will be more and more of a problem until the cars can recaibrate themselves.
