So while my Bronco is no longer my daily freeway ripper to work, I got the front windshield protected with some XPEL film (this is a new product from them), and I’ll report back here with how successful it is. Supposedly it should prevent rocks from cracking the windshield unless they are enormous.
I’m curious as to how well it works. I went 3 years on the OEM and three weeks on the Safelite replacement. I still haven’t replaced the current, cracked windshield.
My fist one lasted I think 18 months, the second one so far held up over a year. I do have a strike on the edge, but when I had the film installed they said that was fine. I also have 70% tint on the inside and I don’t seem to get any distortion or extra light deflection so that’s good too.
