Toyota, hailing from Japan, has gained fame worldwide for producing high-quality, environmentally friendly, and economically viable vehicles. When you need to replace a Toyota windshield, it’s crucial to rely on experts like Natomas Mobile Glass who are proficient in handling these tasks. Toyota’s windshields, crafted from top-tier glass that adheres to rigorous safety standards, are produced by trusted manufacturers such as Pilkington and Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG).
Newer models of Toyota typically feature advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which include pre-collision systems and lane departure warnings. These systems rely on specific sensors and cameras within the windshield. Therefore, proper calibration of the glass is critical during windshield replacement to ensure the optimal functioning of these systems.
The cost of replacing windshields and door glass can differ based on the model and the extent of the damage. Generally, windshields replacement costs vary between $300 to $550, while repairs for door glass and window regulators start from $250 and can go higher.
Replacing a windshield on a Toyota usually takes about an hour.
Toyota vehicles come with cutting-edge safety features including pre-collision systems, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams. These systems utilize cameras and sensors to detect potential obstacles and alert drivers accordingly. Toyota has also designed a Safety Connect system for emergencies that employs GPS and cellular technology to link drivers with emergency responders.
When replacing a Toyota windshield, it is crucial to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) glass. This type of glass matches the safety and functionality of the original windshield. Depending on the complexity of the system, the replacement and calibration process can span a few hours.
Toyota continues to innovate by developing new technologies such as smart glass. This innovative glass technology can adjust its transparency and also function as an information display. Other technologies Toyota is working on include Hydrophobic glass, which repels water, anti-fog glass, which resists fog formation, UV-C glass that uses UV light to disinfect the air inside the car, and lightweight glass to enhance fuel efficiency.
Toyota’s vehicles include a range of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), encompassing features like Pre-Collision System (PCS), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Automatic High Beams (AHB), and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC). It also features blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts.
Proper calibration of the camera and radar sensors is vital when replacing a windshield in a Toyota equipped with ADAS. Failure to do so could cause these features to malfunction, potentially leading to unsafe situations.
Hence, it’s best to entrust your Toyota to Natomas Mobile Glass. We’re well-versed in ADAS recalibration, equipped with the necessary tools and expertise to correctly align and calibrate the ADAS system after a windshield replacement. Toyota also recommends ADAS recalibration following any suspension or wheel alignment work or any repair or replacement of the camera, radar, or ultrasonic sensors.
