Front camera lens replacement.

Zoks · 07-06-2021, 12:13 PM

I had a stone hit the front camera and the lens cracked. Only fix is a complete replacement of the camera, a $1700 repair including tax. Where is the gorilla glass when you need it.

The Camera alone as a spare is 400,- PN 66537944131

I would try to swap it out without removing the front bumper just by removing the grills. Camera module is hold in place by snap in latches.

But maybe dealer needs to program the new camera to the car.

Good lord $1700 for a camera that can’t distinguish an immovable object from a large snow flake

Will insurance cover any of it?

Has anyone tried fixing the chipped camera on their own?
