Home » BMW Repair » BMW – Windshield Replacement
A BMW windscreen is part of the car’s safety and driver assistance systems. Many models have a head-up display that needs special wedge-shaped glass, plus a rain and light sensor and a front camera behind the mirror for lane departure warning, speed limit info and emergency braking. Fitting the wrong glass or skipping calibration can make the head-up display blurry or stop these systems working. At Orange Auto in Al Quoz and Nad Al Hamar we replace BMW windscreens with OEM-quality glass matched to your car’s options and calibrate the front camera with ISTA.
Small chips away from the driver’s view can often be repaired. Cracks, or chips in the driver’s line of sight or near the edge, mean the glass needs replacing.
We use your VIN to confirm the options: head-up display, acoustic glass, heated screen, rain sensor and camera bracket. You get the right glass, not a near match.
We remove trims, the mirror, sensors and camera, then cut out the old glass without damaging the paint around the frame.
The frame is cleaned and primed, and any rust spots are treated, so the new urethane bonds properly and the screen stays sealed.
The glass is bonded with high-strength urethane, the sensors and camera are refitted, and the trims and mouldings are replaced.
We calibrate the front camera with ISTA so lane keeping, traffic sign recognition and collision warning work correctly, and check the head-up display image.
We let the adhesive cure before you drive and give you simple care advice for the first day.
We can also help with the paperwork if you are claiming the windscreen through your insurance.
The camera behind your mirror looks through the windscreen. Even a millimetre of difference in position changes where it “sees” the lane lines. Without calibration your BMW may give false warnings, or none at all. We always calibrate after a windscreen replacement on cars fitted with a camera.
A small stone chip can often be filled with resin in about 30 minutes, which stops it spreading and is much cheaper than a new screen. Get chips checked quickly, because the heat in the UAE turns chips into cracks fast.
