How to use this list
Collect the vehicle year, make, model, trim, and windshield condition photographs. Note existing windshield chips, rain sensor location, camera and driver-assistance sensor locations, and any heated windshield or head-up display. At the installer appointment, ask about optical clarity, wiper compatibility, film edge visibility, recommended cleaning products, warranty details, curing instructions, replacement cost, and a post-installation inspection appointment.
Common mistakes
Do not book based on price alone without discussing sensors, optical clarity, and wiper compatibility. Do not assume existing chips disappear under film. Avoid skipping local inspection requirements or insurance glass coverage details before committing to the product.

Before you go
