I thought this was going to be a paid plug for the windshield film. Glad to hear this is an honest review.
Looking forward to hearing some hopeful results in the future from you guys.

Wow. Bummer. There is a real need for this protection. Ideally something easy to install, durable and clear enough with ghosts or phantoms. Great educational video. I still think some protection is better than nothing.

I was looking for a quote and i was told to avoid windshield ppf because apparently they scratch easily from the wipers.. overtime with so many arc scratches from both wipers, it becomes annoying.

I bought a 2013 and the pvs owner had Xpel put on the front and windshield. No problems with clouding on the windshield, but the PPF on the hood had marks from water stains. This was in TX so it held up in the heat for 9-10 years.

I looked at a local installer of windshield protection films and their page says they have discontinued all windshield protection film installs as they are finding that they reduce but do not prevent chips, and seem to start to delaminate and look like crap after a year or so, and they say the same problems apply to every product they used to install.

I'm wondering if you have any suggestion for apply a clear film to a plastic motorcycle windshield? I have a new windshield that's very prone to scratches. It does have some radius/contouring so probably requires a heat film application. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

I live in Utah right next to the great salt lake, one winter with stek and the distortion in the film grew a ton (garage kept car) so I’m thinking it’s salt. Also to remove it it come off a lot easier if you warm it up first. Maybe cut like 4 vertical lines so there is less tention and it won’t rip so easy

Its be 1 1/2 years on my car and had to get it replaced 3 times now. Now the third one is starting to stain and getting harder to see through it. Its going to have to get replaced really soon. But it works at keeping the windshield from chipping.

I paid over $800 Canadian to have film installed on my Model X windshield. It required two pieces as its over 60" high. I was not a happy camper with all the wiper scratches. After a year of squinting I took the big lower piece off. Wasn't that hard to remove but it was a poor investment.

[tsmith]

Was that cracks in the windshield at 4:03 on the edge ?

[HorsePowerObsessed]

Not looking forward to removing this off of my ZR1 when that time comes lol

[tea]

Made a polycarbonate windshield, will this help temporarily protect it from wiper blade use?

[Wrensspeedshop]

Do you think the salt in the air has anything to do with the issues? Since those are two very different climates, and seems to be the variable. Looks good though all in all.

Hello brother……There is one more windshield product call Exoshield…….Have you ever get chance to get familiar with exoshield..? Waiting eagerly for your review on that …..

[MudMonsterRacing]

Hoping they bring out gorilla glass for the new bromco like they did for the jeep. I was looking at this type of product but none of it lasts for the price of it.

[ivjazz]

Darn! i am having the same removal issue. How did you get it off? Ugh horrible

[stevem]

Have you looked into or tried the liquid glass type treatments? Was curious if those work.

[kerrylittle]

How long doe s this process take to complete? Thanks.

[rubencisneros]

We are in the same boat at my shop. However, I hear Ultrafit is great and not so bad to install as say clearplex or exoshield.

[weichietthong]

There is a new one called terra shield, please do a review on that and let us know
