    Need to get a new one. Did you get the sensors recalibrated and how much did you pay? Got quoted $650 for new glass and recalibration.

    Do you have Comprehensive coverage on your insurance?
    If so, I would go that route.

    Safelite wanted $1k, Toyota wanted 2k and the one closest to me actually has a glass guy come to do the calibration. Not sure how much calibration cost from safelight but I couldn’t even imagine the out the door cost of doing it yourself being less than a $1000 deductible for comprehensive. Obviously if you have a lesser deductible, that would be even better.

    It was. My buddy said you don’t have to remove the windshield camera radar thing or even unplug it. Just slide it off.
