How much is a windshield for an Acura?
Pricing factors that affect the total cost
- OEM vs aftermarket glass: Genuine Acura glass tends to cost more than aftermarket alternatives, but may offer guaranteed fit and sensor compatibility.
- Model and year: Different Acura models (for example, TLX, MDX, RDX) can have different glass prices depending on size and whether the glass includes special coatings or acoustic layers.
- ADAS features and sensors: Windshields with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), rain sensors, or camera housings typically cost more and may require calibration after replacement.
- Installation and labor: Labor costs vary by shop and region, but most installations fall within a few hundred dollars.
Typical price ranges you’ll see in 2025
- Windshield glass (OEM) for Acura: $400–$900
- Windshield glass (aftermarket) for Acura: $150–$400
- Labor/installation for windshield replacement: $100–$300
- ADAS sensor/camera calibration (required if ADAS is present): $150–$600
Note: If your Acura uses a highly integrated ADAS setup, the total installed price can trend toward the higher end of the ranges, especially when OEM glass and manufacturer-approved calibration are selected. Some aftermarket windshields may not be compatible with every sensor or may require additional calibration steps.
How to get an exact quote for your Acura
- Gather model details and options (ADAS, rain sensor, camera housings, coatings).
- Request separate quotes for OEM and aftermarket glass, including installation and calibration where applicable.
- Confirm whether calibration is included and what equipment will be used.
- Check whether the quote covers disposal, moldings, and any required adhesives or sealants.
After collecting quotes, compare not just the total price but also warranties, expected turnaround time, and the shop’s calibration protocol. A higher upfront cost can be worthwhile if it includes certified calibration and factory-recommended parts.

Closing notes
Summary: Acura windshield costs vary by model and features, but you can plan for roughly $400–$900 for OEM glass, $150–$400 for aftermarket glass, $100–$300 for installation, and $150–$600 for ADAS calibration.
