Why ProMaster City camera calibration is mandatory, not optional
I-CAR OEM calibration data confirms it plainly: recalibration of the forward-facing camera is required whenever the RAM ProMaster windshield is removed or replaced. This is not a suggestion — it is an OEM requirement.
Here is why even a perfect installation triggers it: the DASM camera bracket is bonded to the windshield itself. When the old glass comes out and new glass goes in, that bracket moves — even fractions of a millimeter shift the camera's angle of view enough to throw off lane detection and collision calculations. The new glass must be cured, the bracket re-seated, and then the camera must be pointed at calibration targets under controlled conditions.
Skipping calibration does not just leave a warning light on. It can disable safety systems entirely or, worse, leave them appearing active while providing inaccurate data. For a delivery driver putting two hundred miles a day on a ProMaster City, that is a genuine safety risk — not a paperwork formality.
Plan for a longer appointment when ADAS is involved. Most installs take 30–45 minutes. Calibration, where it can be done on site, adds time that depends on the vehicle and the procedure. That time is non-negotiable and should be built into your fleet scheduling from the start.
For more on how ADAS recalibration works across vehicles and why it cannot be bypassed, see our post on Dodge Charger ADAS Calibration: Why It's Required After Windshield Replacement.
Arizona owners: heat, highway debris, and insurance
Phoenix metro is one of the highest road-debris corridors in the country. ProMaster City operators running delivery routes through Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, and the East Valley deal with rock strikes on a regular basis. Summer triple-digit heat adds another variable: sustained desert temperatures stress windshield adhesive, can nudge sensor brackets over time, and quietly degrade ADAS accuracy even without a fresh impact.
A.R.S. § 20-264 requires Arizona insurers writing comprehensive private-passenger coverage to offer optional full-glass coverage without a deductible, but drivers must elect it. However, if you elected Arizona’s optional full-glass coverage, covered windshield replacement has no deductible; otherwise, your comprehensive deductible may apply. We help you file your claim — one quick call together — and walk you through the paperwork so the process is as simple as possible.
For windshield replacement in Arizona, Bang AutoGlass sends a mobile technician to your location — home, job site, or fleet yard — so your van loses the minimum possible time from your route.
Florida owners: the windshield deductible rule with comprehensive coverage
Florida law is unambiguous on this point. Under Florida Statute §627.7288, Florida insurers must waive the deductible for windshield replacement under any comprehensive or combined additional coverage policy issued in the state. That means the policy deductible does not apply to covered windshield damage.
This statute applies to windshield replacement only — not door glass or rear glass. But for a ProMaster City operator running Miami-to-warehouse routes or Orlando delivery corridors, this is a meaningful financial protection. We help you file your claim — one quick call together — and answer your questions as the claim moves along.
For windshield replacement in Florida, our mobile technicians come to your fleet yard, warehouse lot, or wherever your van is parked. You stay productive while we work.

Fleet operators: build calibration into your glass program
If you run multiple ProMaster City vans, windshield replacement is not a one-off event — it is a recurring maintenance category. A glass program that accounts for ADAS recalibration time, insurance billing, and mobile service at your yard is worth setting up properly from the start. See our overview of Fleet Auto Glass Programs: What Businesses Should Look For for a practical checklist.
