Toyota recommends calibration any time the windshield is replaced on a TSS-equipped Prius. We always inform customers of this.
In practice, most non-calibrated replacements drive out without system issues. The camera re-mounts to the same bracket position. We've seen this consistently across hundreds of Prius jobs.
Our recommendation: If you're using insurance, calibrate — cost is covered. If paying cash on a 2017+ with no existing issues, a non-calibrated replacement is a reasonable choice. If warning lights appear after, bring it back and we'll calibrate at cost.
Full replacement is almost always the better call — especially on the Prius, where the raked angle makes chip repairs less durable.

The Prius's extreme windshield rake means gravity works against resin fills. On a conventional upright windshield, injected resin settles naturally into the chip. On the Prius's nearly-horizontal glass, resin can flow away from the impact point before curing, resulting in an incomplete fill that fails faster.
Combined with the rock chip vulnerability — the raked angle catches more highway debris at a direct angle — Prius owners are more likely to need replacement than repair. If you're using insurance, the math always favors full replacement.
