Hi All,

Did anyone get their windshield replaced and safety camera recalibrated on the 2016 GS 350 or newer? I was reading an article that it's expensive for some vehicles.

Thanks

 

Mine was $2200 for everything done by the dealer. Insurance paid it all minus my $500 deductible.

 

Expensive. Thanks for sharing.

 

My LX was $2400 at the Lexus deal with Lexus glass (not cheap crap). Insurance paid 100% no deductible. I did have to pay out of pocked but was reimbursed within a week due to not being a preferred vendor


Lexus Factory Glass- $1181.99

Moulding-$33.99

Rain Sensor Tape- $39.99

Moulding- $148.99

Moulding-148.99

Pad X10- $5.72 = $57.20



Labor to install- $210.00

Labor to recalibrate Lane keep assist- $570.50 (3.5 hours labor)



Total= $2,391.65

 

My 2017 GS350 AWD needed a windshield earlier this year as a nasty rock caused a long crack r=from the top. Thought someone was shooting at me as it was an extremely loud bang. Cost was approx $1700 for OEM glass & recalibration at the dealer. Thankfully, my insurance (CHUBB) had $0 glass deducttible.

 

Sounds expensive glass and calibration. I remember I had my TL glass fixed for around $250 but no calibration. That was like 3 years back tho

 

I had to have it done in my Tundra. The glass, labor and calibration of the sensors was around $2400. Thankful for insurance.

 

Do you pay extra on your premium to have a $0 deductible for windshield?

Thank you

 

Didn't pay extra "per se" for the $0 glass deductible. Can only say while CHUBB insurance is excellent, it is not cheap.

For example, at beginning of each policy year they assign a predetermined value for each car if it were to be totalled. If it happened, they give you that amount to replace the car. Most insurance companies will poke around the market and come up with a median value for the replacement cost. The price CHUBB sets is pretty generous as well.

I suppose you could always ask your particular insurance company if they offer a $0 glass deductible.

 

Mine is built in. you pay for it somewhere, but it's not a line item for glass.

 

Having worked for a time in an independent insurance agency in the state of Kentucky, there is $0 deductible on automobile glass by law. I suspect it is that way in many states as it is considered safety equipment. If you have full coverage, glass damage is completely covered. It might also extend to headlights but you'd have to ask your particular agent/company.

 

Want a new windshield, tape a rock to a hammer and give it a good wack, insurance will take care of the rest lol.

 

That is insurance fraud and should never be considered. Joking or not.
