I don't have driver's assist on mine. I recall the OEM glass replacement for me was in the $1,800 area.

Yeah that calibration is $650 extra and it took all day to do it but good thing it's mandatory from the manufacturer so insurance has to pay for it.

Normally when I get hit, it just chipped off the glass here and there but not this time. The point of impact was on the upper side of the windshield near the roof. It chipped the surface a little and it cracked all the way up to the top end of the windshield and goes down to the middle passing the rear view mirror. It kept spreading to almost across the windshield the next day and I couldn't take it anymore and drove to the dealer and have it replaced. I don't see any damage to the paint so it must went straight to the glass. Lucky me! The glass had some chips already anyway.

Hate to hear you had to go through that. Knowing you, I'm sure you were worried sick about the installers messing up something while they were replacing the windshield and calibrating the driver assist. Glad it's all fixed.

I almost died when I heard the pop and saw the crack!!!!

But yea I thought about getting another car lol. This GS doesn't really have good luck. First I got a screw on the tire, radio broke, loose seat that nobody can fix, and a cracked windshield. Hopefully the bad luck has passed!

Don’t give up! All that could have happened to a lesser car. It’s worth it in the end.
