Lamborghini Aventador Windshield

In 2026, the Windshield for the Lamborghini Aventador remains one of the most technically demanding glass components to replace in the automotive world. Due to its massive surface area and extremely shallow rake angle, it is a critical structural element that contributes to the rigidity of the carbon fiber monocoque.

1. Technical Identification

• Primary Part Number: 470845091 (Base code).

• Specifications: * Laminated safety glass with integrated heating elements (optional in some regions).

  • Integrated mounting for the Rain/Light Sensor.

  • Solar-reflective coating (to reduce the massive heat soak common in the Aventador cabin).

• Compatibility: The windshield shape is identical across the LP700-4, S, SV, SVJ, and Ultimae. Whether it is a Coupe or a Roadster, the front glass remains the same.

2. 2026 Market Pricing (Estimated USD)

Replacing an Aventador windshield is rarely covered by standard “budget” glass shops due to the risk and specialized adhesive required.

3. Why is the labor so expensive?

In 2026, the labor cost for this specific car is high for several reasons:

• Interior Removal: To access the bottom bead of sealant, the Dashboard Upper Module (often Alcantara) may need to be partially loosened or protected with specialized shielding.

• Wiper System: The entire single-arm wiper motor assembly must be removed.

• A-Pillar Trims: The exterior carbon fiber or painted A-pillar trims are fragile and must be removed with extreme care; if the clips break, the trims can fly off at high speeds.

• Curing Time: Because the windshield is structural, the car usually must sit for 24–48 hours to allow the high-modulus adhesive to cure completely before the car is driven, especially given the chassis flex of a V12 supercar.

4. Critical Installation Requirements

• Rain/Light Sensor Recalibration: After the glass is set, the sensor (470955559) must be recalibrated. If this isn’t done, your automatic wipers and headlights will not function correctly.

• Mirror Mounting: The rear-view mirror is bonded to the glass. Using the wrong adhesive can cause the mirror to vibrate or fall off under the intense vibrations of the V12 engine.

• Adhesive Type: You must use High Modulus / Low Conductive (HMLC) urethane. Using standard glass glue can lead to “creaking” noises as the carbon tub flexes during cornering.
