Windscreen Replacement Services

At East Coast Auto Glass, we supply and install front, rear, and side windows for all vehicle types — including passenger cars, 4WDs, SUVs, light commercial vans, trucks, buses, and machinery.

We use only the highest quality automotive glass products available in Australia, ensuring every replacement meets strict safety and performance standards.

Advanced Windscreen Technology

We fit modern, high-tech windscreens equipped with features such as:

Rain Sensors

Detect moisture and automatically activate your wipers. Typically mounted behind the rear-view mirror.

Light Sensors

Measure ambient light to control headlight activation — ideal for tunnels or low-light conditions.

ADAS Cameras

Support lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, and adaptive cruise control. Mounted behind the windscreen.

Heated Windscreen Elements

Fine wires embedded in the glass to defrost or demist. Often mistaken for sensors due to their appearance.

Heads-Up Display (HUD) Projection Area

Projects speed, navigation, and other data onto the windscreen. Requires special optical-grade glass.

Humidity Sensors

Monitor cabin moisture to optimise climate control and prevent fogging.

Solar Sensors

Detect sunlight intensity to adjust air conditioning and cabin temperature.

Our Certified Replacement Process

We are a fully certified company, so you can be confident your replacement glass is installed correctly, safely, and to Australian standards.

Here’s what to expect during a windscreen replacement:

Assessment

We inspect the damage to determine whether a full replacement is required.

Removal

The damaged windscreen is carefully removed using specialised tools to protect your vehicle’s frame.

Cleaning

The bonding area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any old adhesive or debris.

Adhesive Application

A new windscreen is positioned and secured using premium-grade adhesive for a strong, weatherproof bond.

Final Checks

We inspect alignment, seal integrity, and sensor placement before the adhesive cures.

Aftercare & Safety

It’s important to follow the care instructions provided by our technician to ensure the adhesive cures properly and your windscreen performs as intended. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to drive — often within one hour, depending on conditions.

Calibration after windscreen replacement: Not all vehicles require calibration following windscreen replacement. We recommend checking with your dealership, as they can advise based on your specific make and model.
