Need advice: Driver-assistance camera needs calibration after windshield

New windshield is in and shop says the camera needs calibration. Car drives fine and no warning is showing. Would you still do the calibration immediately, and does static vs dynamic calibration matter? I'd rather test this logically than start replacing parts.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata in Michigan, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “driver-assistance camera needs calibration after windshield,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata first. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Just my two cents from doing this recently. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
