Just had mine replaced, they said calibration was done but my lane assist doesn’t work and collision doesn’t seem to react anymore. Should the calibration be done dynamic or static with “targets”?
Depends on the vehicle. At the same time the shop has to keep a record. Contact us via email sales@metroglass-llc.com and we can better assist you in understanding what your rights are for this situation.
@jrodie7 Domestic vehicle (Ford, Chevy, GM, etc.) use Dynamic Calibration which is when the technician will drive your vehicle on a road with road signs and stripes. Using his tablet all he has to do is stay above 37mph and does not change lanes. Takes about 10 mins for this process but on some vehicles it could take longer. Sometimes too the tablet will ask for measurements of the wheelwell. For Foreign vehicles (Nissan, Toyota, Honda, etc.) use Static Calibration which is when the technician will use a stand with targets. He will measure from center hub to front bumper and fire lasers or use measurements to position his stand. The stand will squared off with the vehicle and adjusted to the correct height. At that point the technician will use his tablet to recalibrate your vehicles Lane Departure Warning System (the camera in the windshield at the top). This process can take anywhere from 10 mins to a full hour. All shops are required to keep a record of these reports. They are stored on the tablet or the shops cloud account. These reports are available to the customer upon request. The report will show the vehicle VIN#, Miles, Tag#, Shop Info, Time/Date at the top followed by the Pre/Post scan of the vehicle and "IF" they did a calibration there will be a section called "ADAS" which will have in green letters "Calibration Successful" (usually around page 3). You will also see the reason for the recalibration which is ususally, "Windshield replaced" and you will see the new x, y axis setting for your vehicle. If the shop is unable to present you this report upon request then chances are they never did a recalibration and you can now take them to court for a number of things including fraud if it was an insurance job. Again, these reports HAVE to be kept by the shop for such purposes and you the customer have a right to receive a copy of the report.
Honestly, I have never noticed a smell with urethane. The primer has a sharpie smell but that goes away once dry. I would think the tech had some bad B.O. going on.
I loved that tool Spider 3 ❤🙌
That spider tool makes things so much easier. Our customers even love seeing it in use, they are amazed a string can cut the glass out.
Thank you for the video boss , great work always ✍🏻🙌✊🏻🔥🤝🏆✍🏻
You're welcome. We were going to release more videos this last week, but we have been admitted to the hospital and are resting up.

Should the cab have a lingering smell from the new urethane? Just curious.
