Tell us the Kia model and build year and what is damaged.
The glass
What a Kia windscreen usually carries
Before we quote a Kia, we work out what is actually in the glass. On current Kia models that usually means rain sensor and acoustic glass on higher grades.
Behind the mirror sits a single forward-facing camera mounted behind the glass, just ahead of the mirror, feeding Drive Wise. The windscreen has to carry the right bracket and a clear optical zone in front of the lens, and the camera is recalibrated once the new glass is bonded in.
Kia's assist package moved down the range quickly, so even mid-grade cars a few years old often need recalibration.
Driver assistance
Drive Wise and why calibration matters
Drive Wise reads the road through the windscreen, so replacing the glass moves the camera and the system has to be recalibrated rather than merely reconnected.
Kia calls its driver-assistance package Drive Wise. The part that concerns us is the camera behind the windscreen. It reads lane markings, the vehicle ahead and, on most systems, pedestrians, and it does that through the glass.
Take the old windscreen out and put a new one in, even a perfect fit, and the camera is no longer looking at the world from exactly the same angle. A few tenths of a degree at the glass becomes metres of error at a hundred metres down the road. That is why Drive Wise needs recalibrating after a replacement rather than merely being reconnected.
Coverage varies by grade on a Kia far more than by model year, so we confirm it from your build rather than assuming. If it needs calibrating, it is in the quote, not added later.
The rest of the job
How a Kia replacement runs, and what moves the price
The steps are the same for every vehicle we fit, so they live on the service page rather than being repeated here. The part specific to a Kia is Drive Wise: whether your build carries it decides both the glass and whether calibration is part of the job.

Questions
Kia glass questions
Can you replace a Kia windscreen at my home or work?
Yes, and that is how we do most Kia jobs. We bring the glass, the urethane and the tools to the vehicle. We need room to open both front doors and somewhere reasonably sheltered if it is raining.
Does my Kia need the camera recalibrated after a new windscreen?
Almost certainly, if it carries Drive Wise. We confirm it from your build when you book and include it in the quote rather than adding it later. See windscreen replacement for how calibration fits into the job.
What decides the price of a Kia windscreen?
On a Kia the single biggest step is whether Drive Wise is fitted, because that adds a calibration to the job as well as narrowing the glass. The build year and grade decide the rest. Our cost guide explains each factor.
Can a chip in a Kia windscreen be repaired instead?
Often, and on a Kia it is worth asking early: keeping the original glass means the camera behind it never moves, so there is no calibration to arrange either. See windscreen chip repair.
