Windscreen Replacement
Picked up a horrible large chip with crack on the motorway a little while ago. I need to get the screen replaced, it'll be via insurance so Autoglass I imagine.
I've been putting it off as I have this background fear that I've been very fortunate not to suffer from any of the windscreen leak issues that seem to have plagued many on this forum. This isn't a general concern, I've had plenty of windscreen replacements in the past (mostly X5s) with no issues, it's specifically about issues with D5's and windscreen leaks.
What are people's experiences of having the windscreen replaced - anyone had a leak after replacement whereas they had no issues before?
Also wondering do the likes of Autoglass recalibrate the ADAS/cameras etc or will that need to be a dealer visit afterwards?

My first D5 had it's windscreen damaged as the delivery driver was bringing it to me. The delivery company arranged a replacement which Auto glass fitted a couple of weeks later.
Auto glass did the recalibration and it never leaked during the 3 years I had the car.
MY2026 D5 Metropolitan D350 - finally arrived after the cyber attack.
MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - sold....MY2019 D5 HSE SD6 - sold

I had mine refitted by National Windscreens (My LandRover dealer choice) after it developed a leak. They did it at my home and told me it might not need recalibration (it didn’t) but that they charged half what JLR charge for the same service. So I am sure Autoglass do it.
Sadly it developed another leak 4 years later. I am about to change the windscreen to hopefully solve it and probably use Autoglass for my greater convenience.
