Prado Windscreen Repair & Replacement
Your Prado’s windscreen is critical for visibility, safety, and structural integrity. Even a small crack can weaken the glass and interfere with driving.
We offer repair and replacement services that meet the highest Australian safety standards, using automotive-grade materials for a durable finish.
Common Causes of Windscreen Damage in Toyota Prado
Windscreen damage on a Prado often occurs from stone chips while driving on highways or gravel roads. Off-road conditions can increase the likelihood of debris impact.
Thermal stress and temperature fluctuations can also worsen existing chips, leading to cracks. Sudden pressure from uneven terrain or a faulty installation may cause damage, too.
Signs You Need a Windscreen Replacement
Minor damages can be repaired, but larger cracks or chips in the driver’s line of sight usually require replacement.
Other signs include spider cracks, edge fractures, and glass distortion. If your Prado’s windscreen has two or more chips or the damage spreads beyond 75 mm, it’s time for a full replacement.
A compromised windscreen can affect wiper performance and reduce airbag effectiveness during a collision, which are serious safety concerns.
Our Windscreen Replacement Process for Prado
We start by removing the damaged windscreen and thoroughly cleaning the frame. After prepping the surface, we install a new windscreen using strong automotive adhesive for a secure fit.
Once installed, we allow curing time to maintain bonding strength. The entire process is handled with clean tools and careful alignment to match your Prado’s specifications.
OEM vs Aftermarket Glass: What We Use and Recommend
We use high-quality aftermarket glass that matches Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications.
These products are certified to comply with Australian Design Rules and perform similarly to OEM glass.
Using reliable aftermarket options allows us to offer competitive pricing without sacrificing safety or clarity.
How Long Does a Windscreen Replacement Take?
A typical Toyota Prado windscreen replacement takes approximately 1 hour. This includes time for removing the old glass, surface preparation, installing the new glass, and allowing sufficient curing.
After installation, we recommend waiting one hour before driving to allow the adhesive to begin setting properly.
Side & Rear Window Replacement for Prado
Damage to side or rear windows can impact visibility, cabin comfort, and security. We replace broken door glass, quarter panels, and rear windshields with precision and care.
Our mobile service can replace your Prado’s glass onsite, often within the same day.
Understanding the Risks of Broken Side or Rear Glass
Broken side or rear glass compromises your vehicle’s security and increases the risk of interior damage from rain, dust, or wind.
Unsealed openings may also allow sharp edges to cause injury. A damaged rear window affects defrosting capability and can reduce rear visibility, especially in bad weather or low light.
Our Fast and Reliable Replacement Service
We stock side and rear glass for most Prado models, meaning we can respond quickly to service requests.
Our team removes shattered glass, clears the frame, and installs new glass that meets all safety regulations. We reseal the area properly and test window mechanisms to guarantee full functionality.
Glass Quality and Safety Standards We Follow
All replacement glass used meets Australian Standard AS/NZS2080 for safety glazing materials in vehicles.
This includes laminated and tempered glass with the correct tint and curvature for Prado windows. We prioritise durability, impact resistance, and optical clarity in every installation.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Calibration
Modern Prado models are equipped with ADAS features such as lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision sensors.
These systems rely on precise calibration, especially after a windscreen replacement.
Does Your Toyota Prado Require ADAS Calibration?
If your Prado has a forward-facing camera or sensors mounted on the windscreen, it likely requires ADAS recalibration after glass replacement.
Calibration is essential to maintain the proper function of safety systems. We recommend checking your vehicle’s specs or asking our team during your booking.
How ADAS Recalibration Works After Windscreen Replacement
During recalibration, we use specialised tools and software to align the camera’s field of vision. This ensures the sensors and radar systems can read the road accurately.
The process involves setting the correct height, angle, and alignment based on factory specifications. It’s a precise step that guarantees your ADAS works as intended.
Why Proper Calibration Matters for Prado Drivers
Incorrect calibration can cause ADAS features to misjudge distance, fail to detect obstacles, or behave unpredictably.
This puts drivers and passengers at risk. With proper calibration, your safety systems respond appropriately in real time, especially during emergency braking or lane changes.
