2016 Honda Accord Windshield Replacement in Houston, TX

Technical Specifications: 2016 Honda Accord Windshield

The 2016 Honda Accord is the fourth model year of the 9th-generation CR/CT chassis (2013-2017), produced at Honda's Marysville, Ohio assembly plant. The Accord sedan windshield measures approximately 58 inches wide by 31 inches tall, weighing 30 to 34 pounds depending on trim — coupe versions use a different, more raked glass (approximately 56 x 30 inches). Honda's OEM part number for the base 2016 Accord sedan windshield is 73111-T2F-A02, with 73111-T2F-A12 designating the acoustic-interlayer variant found on Touring and EX-L trims, and 73111-T2A-A10 covering the Honda Sensing windshield with camera bracket introduced mid-cycle on 2016 models. Primary OEM supplier is Fuyao (look for the embossed FY logo in the lower passenger corner), with AGC Auto as the secondary supplier. DOT-certified aftermarket alternatives come from Pilkington, Saint-Gobain Sekurit, and Xinyi. The 9th-gen Accord's windshield is bonded to the chassis using Sika Primerless adhesive technology in OEM production; aftermarket installations require a Sika SikaTack Ultrafast-2 or equivalent urethane with minimum 60-minute safe-drive-away time.

Honda Sensing on 2016 Accord

Honda introduced Honda Sensing on the 2016 Accord as optional equipment on EX, EX-L, and Touring sedans — the first model year Honda's full ADAS suite was available on the Accord. The system uses a forward-facing monocular camera mounted to the inside of the upper windshield behind the rearview mirror, plus a millimeter-wave radar in the lower grille. Honda Sensing on the 2016 Accord includes Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with low-speed follow, and Traffic Sign Recognition. After windshield replacement on any Honda Sensing Accord, both static camera aim calibration (using Honda's CTS Camera Target System with targets positioned at manufacturer-specified distances from the front bumper) and dynamic road-test calibration (minimum 10 minutes at 35+ mph on straight, well-marked roads during daylight) are required. Skipping calibration leaves CMBS and LKAS non-functional with persistent amber warning lights. We include both calibration procedures in every Honda Sensing Accord replacement; cost is billed directly to your insurance carrier when covered.

Houston Considerations for 2016 Accord Owners

The 9th-gen Accord is heavily represented in Houston's commuter fleet, especially along the I-10 Energy Corridor, I-69 Southwest Freeway, and Sam Houston Tollway routes that connect Katy, Sugar Land, Missouri City, and Pearland to central Houston employment centers. Houston's 95-110°F summer temperatures create severe thermal stress on existing chips, with typical chip-to-crack propagation times of 2 to 4 weeks in our climate — far shorter than in cooler markets. Spring hail season from late March to mid-May concentrated along the I-45 and I-10 corridors causes the largest annual spike in replacement volume, with events like the April 2024 storms in Cypress and The Woodlands producing record claim volumes across Harris and Montgomery counties. Rock-chip damage from construction-zone debris is nearly unavoidable for daily commuters, particularly in active work zones along I-10 East near Baytown, I-45 through Spring, and US-290 through Cypress. Texas comprehensive insurance policies pay $0 deductible for glass replacement on the 2016 Accord, including required Honda Sensing calibration on equipped trims, and claims do not raise your premium under Texas Department of Insurance glass-claim protections. We offer free mobile service throughout Greater Houston within 70 miles of our central location, covering all of Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Chambers, and Liberty counties. A typical 2016 Accord replacement takes 90 to 120 minutes including Honda Sensing calibration if equipped.
