Windshield Protection Film FAQ

How much does windshield protection film cost?

$700 for a standard windshield up to about 18 square feet (Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Subaru Crosstrek), $750 for large windshields of 18 to 22 square feet (Ford F-150, Toyota Highlander, Kia Telluride), and $800 for oversized or panoramic glass over 22 square feet (Rivian R1S, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Mercedes Sprinter). Those prices are firm - we don't charge more for an exotic than we do for a commuter car. Unusually shaped glass is quoted individually.

What is windshield protection film?

A clear, hard-coated urethane film applied to the outside of the windshield. It absorbs the impact of gravel and road debris so small rocks bounce off instead of chipping or cracking the glass. We install ClearPlex Contour, which is designed specifically for windshields: it's optically clear, safe for wipers, and self-heals light scuffs with heat.

Why is this worth it on a newer car?

Most windshields on vehicles built in the last several years carry the camera for lane-keeping, adaptive cruise, forward-collision warning, and heads-up display. Replacing that glass means recalibrating those systems, which typically adds $300 to $700 to the bill. A film that costs less than one replacement is the cheaper path on a modern car.

Can I see it? Does it affect visibility?

No. Installed correctly the film is invisible from inside and outside the car, with no tint, distortion, or glare. It's safe to use wipers and washer fluid normally once it has cured.

How long does installation take, and is there a cure period?

Installation starts at about two hours and runs longer for large or panoramic glass. The film then takes 2 to 4 days to cure to full clarity; a little haze in that window is normal and clears on its own.

How long does it last, and what's the warranty?

Expect 12 to 24 months of service depending on mileage and conditions; heavy freeway driving wears it faster. The manufacturer warranty covers yellowing, peeling, and adhesive failure for 18 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. When it's done its job, we remove it and can install a fresh layer.

Can it be combined with tint or a ceramic coating?

Yes. Windshield film goes on the outside of the glass, so it doesn't conflict with window tint on the inside. It also pairs with paint protection film on the front end for full rock-chip coverage.
