Acura RL Windshield Replacement Cost

The Acura RL first debuted in 1996 as a replacement for the Legend, marking a new chapter in Acura’s roster of luxury sedans. While the RL name stands for “Refined Luxury,” it perhaps more importantly heralded the advancement of technology in Acura vehicles, especially becoming well-regarded for its quiet cabin and smooth ride. The RL went through several updates before it was eventually replaced by the RLX in 2013. An interesting piece of trivia is that the 2005 model was among the first to introduce the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system, which vastly improved handling and driving dynamics.

When it comes to factors affecting the windshield replacement cost for an Acura RL, several key elements must be considered. Notably, the RL models, especially from 2005 onward, often come equipped with Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) like collision mitigation braking or adaptive cruise control. These systems rely on sensors and cameras, often mounted or calibrated through the windshield, meaning replacements could require recalibration of these systems, thus affecting costs.

Trim levels also play a significant role. Higher trim levels such as those with Technology or Advance packages typically include additional embedded sensors or acoustic glass, which can dramatically influence the price of a replacement windshield due to their complexity and the necessity for precise recalibration.

Moreover, major redesigns in model years can heavily impact windshield replacement costs. For instance, the 2009 facelift included the integration of additional high-tech features, necessitating more sophisticated types of glass and labor. As such, post-2009 models might carry a higher replacement cost compared to earlier versions.

Availability of aftermarket parts also influences pricing. While original equipment manufacturer (OEM) glass ensures perfect fit and finish, aftermarket options may offer more cost-effective solutions, though they might not fully retain the luxury and technological features of the original.

Overall, the windshield replacement cost for the Acura RL is largely dictated by its technological features, trim levels, and the availability of parts. Understanding these factors can help in estimating costs effectively, ensuring you’re well-prepared for the maintenance of this luxury sedan.

Acura RL Windshield Replacement Cost By Year

Not all windshields are created equal, so it makes sense that not all replacements cost the same. Depending on the vehicle and the technology built into the glass, replacement prices can vary significantly. Here’s how we break it down:

High-End Range
Some vehicles—especially newer or luxury models—are equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), like lane-keeping cameras, rain sensors, heads-up displays, and built-in heating elements. These features require original equipment manufacturer (OEM) glass and a complete ADAS recalibration after installation. Because of the specialized parts and labor involved, these replacements fall at the top end of the price range.

Mid-Range
Many modern cars come with a few standard features—such as forward collision sensors or lane departure cameras—that require basic recalibration after the windshield is replaced. These windshields typically don’t require OEM glass but do involve some extra steps beyond a simple install, which puts them in the moderate price range.

Low-End Range
Older vehicles or base models often have a simpler setup: plain laminated glass without any built-in electronics or sensors. These windshields are the most straightforward to replace, and therefore, fall into the lowest price tier.

Year Maximum Price Average Price Minimum Price
2013$410.00$410.00$410.00
2012$410.00$410.00$410.00
2011$410.00$410.00$410.00
2010$410.00$410.00$410.00
2009$410.00$410.00$410.00
2008$300.00$300.00$300.00
2007$300.00$300.00$300.00
2006$300.00$300.00$300.00
2005$300.00$300.00$300.00
2004$370.00$370.00$370.00
2003$290.00$290.00$290.00

After fixing my trunk glass, some left over glass got into the latch and caused it to not lock. Brady came by a day later and fixed it for me without charge.
