Why windshield work can matter
For some vehicles and systems, the manufacturer procedure requires calibration after windshield or camera work. Whether calibration is required is determined by the manufacturer procedure for the specific vehicle and operation, not by a blanket rule for every windshield replacement.
Static and dynamic approaches
Some manufacturer procedures can include a static calibration stage.
Some manufacturer procedures use dynamic calibration.
Manufacturer example: for the Ferrari models covered by TI-2553, the procedure specifies an initial static stage followed by a dynamic drive. That is an example from those named models, not a universal sequence.
Why the procedure varies
The applicable manufacturer procedure may differ with the vehicle, system, and operation.
Manufacturer procedures may specify one or more of setup, tools, checks, and completion criteria.
What to ask and keep
Ask which manufacturer procedure applies to the vehicle and operation, and keep the outcome provided after required calibration or recalibration.
Use the right next step
Vehicle-specific details and the replacement plan help identify the manufacturer procedure that may apply; this guide does not determine a procedure for a particular vehicle.
