My oem one cracked within the first 3 months of buying the car. New one is a Fuyao and over a year old now. Just got to take it back in for this. Satellite for me too.

Just got a quote for a local guy to do it.... He is saying $450 to replace and $250 to calibrate lane assist. Seems VERY cheap. Thoughts?

Def not OEM glass at that cost.

I'm fine with non oem I suppose. The oem cracked within a year. I plan to put protective over the top of it anyways....

For reference, here's the ClearPlex windshield film being discussed on the outside of my Supras front windshield.

How has that been using your wipers?

~ I actually don't drive my car in the weather so I've not used them. I worried about that as well but they say the film will not scratch with wiper usage.

I can’t recall which brand I have. I was told to try and not use the wipers. However, with what little miles I have on mine and forgetting not to use them, they’ve been fine. A buddy that did it owns a detail shop. You have to clean it with something called waterless wash. Thus, too much of a pain in the ass for most of his customers. I was the guinea pig for him and the film company = free. This year he wants to try an easier to install film and new manufacturer that claims it‘s better lol (typical).

But most importantly, the film works. No more cracked windshields.

How much was it to add it on your car?

Mine was free only because I know a guy, who knows a guy… but I’ll have to ask that guy, since mine is getting a bit nicked up. It’s time for a new one
