It’s not every day that a Tesla Cybertruck rolls into the shop. Its presence alone turns heads, but the moment we open the crate and see the massive windshield, reality sets in. Angular, oversized, and unlike anything found on conventional vehicles, it immediately demands respect.
Cybertruck windshield replacement: when an extraordinary vehicle enters the workshop
At ADAS Auto Glass Montreal, we enjoy a challenge — but this one required absolute precision. The Cybertruck relies heavily on its advanced ADAS systems, which must be recalibrated according to strict manufacturer standards after any windshield replacement. The SAAQ clearly emphasizes how crucial these systems are for driver and passenger safety.
A gigantic windshield: handling and replacing an exceptional piece of automotive glass
One moment stood out during this project.
A technician laid down next to the crate — simply to show the windshield’s true scale.
The photo says it all:
That picture perfectly captures:
- the exceptional size of the windshield,
- the thickness of the protective foam,
- the width of the shipping crate,
- and the magnitude of the installation ahead.
This is not a standard windshield.
It’s a piece of engineering, and handling it requires space, coordination, and expert technique.
Windshield removal and preparation: critical steps on a vehicle equipped with ADAS
Before installing the new windshield, the original one must be removed with extreme care.
On a Cybertruck, this includes:
- removing Tesla-specific moldings and trims,
- cutting the bonded glass with precision,
- fully protecting the stainless-steel body,
- securing and managing the sensors linked to driver assistance.
Every step must be perfectly executed.
Even slight variations can affect the alignment and performance of the camera and ADAS components.
Installing the new windshield: precision, adhesion, and expert handling
The new Cybertruck windshield is so large and heavy that it requires multiple technicians and specialized lifting equipment. The installation process involves:
- a dedicated lifting system,
- synchronized teamwork,
- OEM-grade adhesive,
- millimetric alignment for perfect sealing and structural strength.
This isn’t just replacing a piece of glass.
It’s a technical operation requiring advanced skills and experience.
ADAS calibration: a mandatory step after any windshield replacement
Once the windshield is installed, the next essential step begins: ADAS calibration.
For the Cybertruck, this includes:
- the front camera,
- lane-keeping assistance,
- automatic emergency braking,
- adaptive cruise control.
The SAAQ specifies that ADAS systems must be inspected or recalibrated whenever an operation may affect the sensors — including windshield replacement.
Our workshop is equipped to perform these advanced calibrations directly on-site.
A flawless windshield replacement and ADAS calibration: the Cybertruck is back on the road
After installation, calibration, and final safety checks, the Cybertruck leaves the shop in perfect condition.
Results:
- a brand-new windshield,
- systems calibrated to factory standards,
- restored safety,
- and a vehicle ready to hit the road confidently.
This type of work highlights our team’s expertise with modern, electric, and highly advanced vehicles.
