I need a new windscreen after a dozen or so dings and one large horizontal crack.
The local glass shops tell me that even if they order a windscreen and and drain gutter from Ineos, they can not replace the windscreen because they do not have the data to recalibrate the related sensors. They further tell me that nationally, most manufacturers provide that data to Autel, an automotive technology distributor, and installers across the country use Autel supplied data to recalibrate after glass installation. Our windscreens are manufactured by Pilkington, a very large international glass company, and our local installers have data for many Pilkington windscreens but not ours.
The Ineos service center that I contacted tells me that recalibration is not necessary.
Can anyone explain if installation without recalibration is possible and if so, will any functions be impaired?
