How much to replace a windscreen on a Honda Civic

Expect to pay roughly $600–$1,100 in the U.S. (£500–£1,000 in the U.K.; AU$700–AU$1,300 in Australia) for most 2016–2025 Honda Civics with Honda Sensing, because camera calibration is required; older, non-ADAS Civics typically run less—about $300–$500 (U.S.), £250–£450 (U.K.), and AU$350–AU$600. Choosing OEM glass or adding features can push totals to the top of these ranges or higher. Insurance may reduce your out-of-pocket cost to just your excess/deductible.

Typical price ranges by region (2025)

Replacement costs vary by where you live, the Civic’s model year, whether it has Honda Sensing (ADAS) that needs camera calibration, and whether you select OEM or aftermarket glass. Below are typical, real-world ranges reported by major fitters and independent shops in 2024–2025.

• United States
  

  • 2012–2015 (no ADAS): $300–$500 aftermarket; $500–$800 OEM
  • 2016–2025 (with Honda Sensing): $600–$1,000 aftermarket + calibration; $900–$1,400 OEM

• United Kingdom
  

  • Pre‑2016 (no ADAS): £250–£450 aftermarket; £400–£700 OEM
  • 2016–2025 (with ADAS): £500–£900 aftermarket + calibration; £800–£1,200 OEM

• Australia
  

  • Pre‑2016 (no ADAS): AU$350–AU$600 aftermarket; AU$600–AU$900 OEM
  • 2016–2025 (with ADAS): AU$700–AU$1,200 aftermarket + calibration; AU$1,000–AU$1,600 OEM

The big swing item is calibration for the forward-facing camera on Honda Sensing models (common from 2016 onward). OEM glass and added features can further raise the total.

What drives the cost

Multiple technical and market factors determine your final price beyond the basic pane of glass.

• ADAS camera calibration: Required after replacement on Honda Sensing models; adds roughly $200–$400 (US), £150–£300 (UK), AU$250–AU$400.
• OEM vs aftermarket glass: OEM (Honda-branded) typically costs more but may be preferred for lease returns or sensitive ADAS; quality aftermarket can save 15–35%.
• Glass features: Acoustic/solar glass, rain/light sensors, humidity sensors, and special tint bands can add parts cost.
• Availability and logistics: Rural areas, dealer-only parts, or short-notice mobile service can raise prices.
• Shop vs mobile and calibration method: Some calibrations require in-shop targets; mobile jobs may involve a return visit for calibration or higher call-out fees.
• Taxes, environmental fees, and moldings: Trim clips, cowl pieces, or garnish moldings sometimes must be replaced.

In practice, ADAS calibration and your OEM/aftermarket choice have the greatest impact on the bottom line.

Insurance and ways to save

Insurance coverage and a few smart choices can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs without compromising safety.

• United States: Comprehensive coverage usually applies; some states (e.g., Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina) mandate $0 deductible for windshields if you carry comprehensive. Otherwise you’ll pay your glass deductible. Confirm ADAS calibration is covered.
• United Kingdom: Windscreen cover is often an add-on with a typical £75–£150 excess; calibration is usually included and no-claims bonus often unaffected, but check your policy.
• Australia: Many insurers offer optional windscreen cover with a $0 excess add-on; without it, standard excess applies. Verify calibration is included.
• Compare quotes: Get at least two itemized quotes that show glass type (OEM/aftermarket), labor, moldings, and calibration.
• Ask about bundling: Some providers discount when calibration is done in-house the same day.
• Consider quality aftermarket: For many Civics, reputable aftermarket glass performs well and keeps costs down.
• Mind drive-away time and warranty: Ensure safe-drive-away time (urethane cure) and a lifetime workmanship/leak warranty are included.

Leveraging the right coverage and selecting quality aftermarket glass can lower costs while maintaining safety and functionality.

How long it takes

Timing depends on whether calibration is needed and shop workflow, but most Civic windscreen jobs are completed same day.

• Glass removal/installation: 45–90 minutes
• Urethane cure (safe drive-away): 30–60 minutes, depending on adhesive and weather
• ADAS calibration: 30–90 minutes (static and/or dynamic road test)
• Total typical time: About 1.5–3 hours; allow longer in poor weather, if rust is present, or if parts are on order

Do not rely on lane-keep, adaptive cruise, or collision mitigation until calibration is completed and any dashboard warnings are cleared.

How to get an accurate quote today

Providing detailed vehicle and feature information helps shops price the job precisely and avoid surprises.

1. Have your VIN ready so the shop can identify the exact glass and sensor package.
2. State the model year/trim and whether it has Honda Sensing (camera behind the mirror, lane/ACC features).
3. Confirm add-ons: rain sensor, acoustic glass, tint band, or any special features.
4. Request two prices: OEM glass and quality aftermarket, both with calibration included.
5. Ask if calibration is performed in-house the same day and whether it’s static, dynamic, or both.
6. Get the full out-the-door figure, including tax, moldings/clips, disposal fees, and mobile service charges if applicable.
7. Verify warranty terms and safe drive-away time.

With these details, quotes will be comparable across providers and less likely to change on installation day.

Summary

For a Honda Civic windscreen replacement, plan on $600–$1,100 in the U.S., £500–£1,000 in the U.K., and AU$700–AU$1,300 in Australia for 2016–2025 models with Honda Sensing due to required camera calibration; older, non-ADAS Civics often fall into the $300–$500/£250–£450/AU$350–AU$600 range. OEM glass and added features increase cost, while insurance and quality aftermarket glass can reduce what you pay.
