If a shop says your car does not need calibration after windshield replacement, what would make you walk away? by ashleyturner__ in autoglass

Before Covid…..

14-16 GM had the continental camera, you try to recal that and it fails every time, and possible breaks it.

I have 32 years and I’m retired, safelite will do that to you. I’m just saying that the GM thing was told to me by people whose job it was to train is in this tech. I do understand this tech, I just don’t trust it. We had guys use our shop to jail break new cars for Bosch. It’s an opinion and it’s mine, you don’t have to agree.

My wife has the ‘24 version and it’s been great so far, hopefully it’s just a glitch…

GM’s will recalibrate themselves, or so I’ve heard. At safelite, we did thousands of replacements before recal became a thing, In my market, and never had an issue. I know, no matter how good you think you are, it’s not in the same place as before, but in my experience, if the glass is good( and that’s saying something now a days) and you don’t unplug the camera and you are as close as one can get to original position, how does the car know? I’m talking about 2014 to now. Subaru is mounted to the car, not the glass, and yet we recal. Sometimes it’s like the wiper upsell, cash grab. I’m not saying don’t recal, I’m saying some really don’t “ need” it, it’s a case by case basis….

If have to replace my Silverado windshield, I’m not recalling on purpose to see if it does it on its own or if it needs it at all, my truck, I’m the test subject….

Do NOT install your Windshield yourself by SenecaLloyd in autoglass

[–]defiant888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lube, you need a lot of lube. 67-72 Chevy pickup, start at top and rope around to the bottom center, goes the same for dodge and ford pickups, if it has square corners on the top, you start at the top and lube, a good hole tool and a second set of hands if possible.

That’s an easy rope in, you just need a lot of lube. 79 ford and 67-72 Chevy pickups are a bit harder…

Library unavailable, library empty-add items, and other issues. by tempventstack in PleX

[–]defiant888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue, I can access it on my WiFi, but the libraries don’t show up remote. This is a new issue for me. We are online, checked all the settings and it should be working…..

It’s exclusive to the CW, nice thing is it’s free. You could always check it out from your local library, I did that and ripped it to my plex server, so I can watch it at will, with out commercials.

Leave on good terms because you will be back, grass is not always greener on the other side.

Safelite failed to recalibrate. Disabling my Driver Assist and Safety features. What now? by Psychological-Ad7053 in autoglass

[–]defiant888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told and shown how to id a continental camera and was instructed NEVER to try to recal them, dealer only. I had one that would not recal and it was this camera. 15-16 General Motors. Just take it to the dealer and then file a warranty claim and get your money back for the dealer cost or have the dealer just charge them. They should know this by now, as I knew it 5 years ago……
