I need to replace the windshield on my 2014 Silverado 1500.  Will there be any follow-on programming or calibration required by the dealer?

 

Thanks,
Rick

Rick, it may depend on who you use to replace the glass. Our '15 X5 had a limb land on it a year ago. I requested OEM BMW Glass & Safelite had one in stock. There was a separate $200 charge to reprogram/calibrate the cameras/sensors. I will assume your windshield may need to same thing depending on what options you have on the truck. I believe Safelite has the required equipment. Even if you have the dealer to do it, they will bring in a glass installer to install it. Dealers don't have the techs to handle it for the most part. Hope you have good insurance & low deductible. The X5 was $2300+?

I replaced the glass on my '15 at safelite. I could have paid $650 for the direct OEM replacement or $400 to not have the direct OEM replacement. No extra programming was required.

Nothing required if they use the correct glass, would ask and make sure it is one of the two (maybe 3) GM authorized companies that they use at the factory.

$300 @ Glass America for OEE glass and they are coming out to the house. I've done business with them in the past so should work out good. Called Safelite twice and couldn't get anyone to answer, all machines.  Thanks for the replies!

Quick question, who is your insurance company?

 

I paid my $50.00 deductible and had a Fuyao put in my 18. Believe it had a Vitro that had to be replaced because of a crack from a rock. State Farm is my company.

Your windshield will only need a LDWS "Lane Departure Warning System" Calibration if you have that option on your truck. It's called a Dynamic Calibration the technician will drive your truck for roughly 10-15 minutes with a scan tool. Very few trucks beside Denali models have this option though on GM.

Aftermarket glass has to adhere to the same government safety guidelines as OE and often times is made in the same factory, it just doesn't have the GM logo. I know someone that used to work for a glass company. People often ask for OE glass and in the end its just the GM logo they are paying extra for.

Yep, that what they did on our X5. There was a $200 charge for this IIRC. Insurance covered it. AND, I have this (LDWS) on my '17 Silverado too.

No need on our trucks, if the correct glass is used it will work just fine, had the windshield replaced in my 18 with factory glass, and it works fine.

Well, maybe. As mentioned above, the camera that controls the LDWS will need to be recalibrated. Hope the new glass would not obstruct this. So many times, the glass for say a '14 will also fit a '18 but the '18 may have add'l options that need to meet a '18 windshield that the '14 wouldn't. Just sayin...

Nope, no recalibration if the same camera is used and put back as it was found.

Thinking someone paid for a service they did not need.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
