Kia Windscreen Replacement in Sydney

Kia Windscreen Replacement in Sydney

Kia is a familiar sight on Sydney roads, and windscreen damage on a Kia is something we see often. Most Kia windscreens are a routine job, but newer models usually carry a driver-assistance camera on the glass, and that needs planning for.

Kia Models We Commonly See

• Sportage, Seltos, Sorento and Stonic SUVs
• Cerato and Picanto
• Carnival people mover
• EV6, EV9 and Niro electric and hybrid models

Driver-Assistance Cameras on the Windscreen

Kia groups its driver-assistance features under the name Drive Wise. On most current models, features such as forward collision-avoidance assist and lane-keeping use a camera mounted on the windscreen behind the rear-view mirror.

When the windscreen is replaced, the camera is moved to the new glass. Because it reads the road through the windscreen, it may need to be recalibrated so features like lane-keep assist and automatic emergency braking work as designed. Calibration costs vary by vehicle and are quoted separately; Aussie AutoGlass coordinates with specialist calibration providers where it’s needed.

Not sure if your car has one? See how to tell if your windscreen has a camera or sensor, and whether your car needs ADAS recalibration.

Getting the Right Glass

Kia windscreens differ between models and grades — for example, camera brackets, rain sensors, heated wiper areas and acoustic glass on some models. Giving us your registration or VIN when you request a quote helps us match the correct glass. Our guide to OEM vs aftermarket windscreens explains your options.

Carnival and Large SUVs

The Carnival and Sorento have large, steeply raked windscreens. They take more glass and careful handling, so allow a little more time for the job, and let us know your exact model and grade when you book.

Repair or Replace?

A small chip on a Kia windscreen can often be repaired if it is away from the edge and outside the camera area. Stone chip and crack repairs start from $110. Long cracks, edge damage or damage in front of the camera usually mean replacement. Windscreen replacement with Aussie AutoGlass starts from $330, depending on your vehicle.
