Toyota Camry Owners: What to Know About Windshield Replacement

When it comes to sedans, the Toyota Camry is tough to beat, which is why it’s been a top-selling model for years. The popularity of the Camry isn’t surprising when you think about how reliable it is. But even the most dependable vehicles can have their integrity compromised when the windshield has a crack or chip. 

Here are some questions we thought Camry owners might ask when faced with a windshield replacement. 

Can a Toyota Camry Windshield Be Repaired?

There are some instances where a small chip or crack can be repaired but we highly recommend that a professional take a look at your Camry first. If the chip or crack is small enough for a repair we also suggest that it be taken care of right away. Small chips and cracks grow over time, which will then require a replacement. 

How Long Will the Windshield Replacement Process Take?

A windshield replacement on your Toyota Camry should take one to two hours at the most. Don’t forget to factor in ADAS calibration, which is standard with most windshields today. ADAS systems work with cameras and sensors built into the windshield for things like collision alerts. 

What Does it Cost to Replace a Windshield on a Toyota Camry?

A full replacement for a Toyota Camry can run anywhere from $350 to $700 on average, depending on your Camry's features. To get a precise quote for your Camry a technician will need to see the damage and let you know your options. 

What Kind of Glass Is Available?

You may not have known, but three types of glass can be used to replace the windshield of a Toyota Camry without compromising quality and safety. Below you will get a better idea of what your options are. 

• Original Equipment Parts (OE): OE is the glass that came with your Camry off the assembly line. 

• Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM): This glass is the same brand as the OE but there is no vehicle manufacturer logo on the glass. 

• Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE): OEE glass is not made by the original manufacturer but it’s equal in quality and standard.

Should I Contact the Dealership?

You don’t have to. In fact, contacting a company that specializes in auto glass services is your best bet. You’ll want to be sure the company you hire is fluid in Toyota Camry windshield replacement.
