Mine chipped right on the lower edge too, then spread across the whole windshield

Yes it is a bummer. I get it though, being an at home install thing. My gladiator had a couple edge strikes like that too. And only the ones in the center cracked also. Hope yours stays contained!!
If this doesn’t work or last a year or more. I’ll end up getting a tint shop to install the actual film they cut to the exact size on my next windshield.

That’s not even a bad one!!
look at this trash.
Makes me nauseous every time I see it. Totally my fault.
And yea. Decals should be placed ontop of the protector.
Let me know if you ever want to redo this. I’ll send you out another
Not gonna lie, I’m still tempted to do this.

It comes through. Pretty close and much better than what I saw which ended just under the wiper blades.

that sucks. I wonder if they can fill that with resin so it doesn’t spread in the future?
Same. Now’s the time for me as just got new glass.

Did you buy this direct from the vendor or through a retailer? What’s this about cutting film to actual size? Do they have an option of buying different sheets.

I bought direct from the Racing Optics website.
As far as cutting to fit. Most tint shops offer some type of protection offerings and wraps along with standard tint jobs. Tons of different options going that route but it is very expensive and it’s a one and done deal. Once it’s scratched you’ll need to replace it rather than peeling one layer at a time like the Racing Optics. All depends what you want out of it and how much you want to spend.

Ah gotcha. I thought racing optics had a custom option.
jeeeep

wonder if using a heat gun on the inside of the windshield would've helped in relaxing the film enough to be pressed close into the letters and also dry out the moisture.
