A windscreen can be part of the car's camera and sensor system, not merely a piece of glass.
Equipment around the mirror matters
Cameras and sensors used for driver-assistance systems may look through or mount near the windscreen. Replacement can therefore involve the correct glass plus recalibration.
Check insurance cover details
Windscreen cover, excesses and limits vary. where a vehicle carries expensive glass technology, read the policy instead of expecting every replacement is handled under identical terms.
Small chips deserve attention
A repairable chip can spread into a crack. Dealing with it promptly may preserve the original screen and avoid a larger job.
If the windscreen carries cameras or sensors, read the glass-insurance terms alongside the main premium figure when comparing policies.
