What to check next
Use the Verification question to choose the relevant next step without assuming facts that have not been verified.
- Confirm the exact Optical Distortion topic and the Recent Damage condition.
- Record the Sensor Package facts that can be observed or verified.
- Use the Verification question to choose the relevant next step without assuming facts that have not been verified.
- Document damage and visibility
- Identify glass and equipment
What a complete answer should include
- Damage size, depth, contamination, edge distance, line of sight, glass layers, and crack growth are documented before repairability is decided.
- Replacement records identify exact fitment, equipment, adhesive, preparation, cure conditions, safe-drive-away time, and required calibration.
- The finished windshield is checked for bond, leaks, optical distortion, trim, cameras, sensors, warnings, and aftercare instructions.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not repair damage that falls outside accepted limits or assume every chip is safely repairable.
- Do not select replacement glass without confirming cameras, sensors, heaters, antennas, acoustic layers, and other equipment.
- Do not drive before the stated safe-drive-away time or skip calibration and post-installation verification when required.
