Summary
This document outlines Rivian's specific requirements for windshield replacement on 2020-2024 model years, emphasizing structural integrity, approved single-brand adhesive systems, and mandatory camera calibration. It also highlights that the rain/light sensor is a one-time use part and that pinchweld repairs must only be finished with epoxy primer or factory e-coat.
What to do on the job
Always use approved adhesives and primers from the same product line, replace the rain/light sensor as a one-time use part, and perform the required front driver assistance camera calibration after windshield installation.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the cost of a new rain/light sensor (which cannot be reused), the specific epoxy primer required for pinchweld preparation, and the necessary labor time for front driver assistance camera calibration after any windshield replacement or reinstallation.
