It is a transparent protective film applied to the windshield to guard against rock chips, debris and other road hazards. It keeps the glass optically clear while protecting it, which matters most on vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
It acts as a barrier that helps prevent chips, cracks and pitting from everyday stones and debris. No film makes glass unbreakable, and a large enough impact can still cause damage.
It depends on the vehicle and the size of the windshield. Contact our Calgary shop for a quote. To see how the cost compares with replacing a windshield that has driver assistance sensors, read windshield protection film for ADAS and luxury vehicles.
No. The film keeps excellent optical clarity, so it does not affect visibility or the performance of windshield-mounted sensors and cameras. It is thin and virtually invisible once applied.
It is designed to last for several years, depending on how much road debris it sees and how it is cared for. The film takes the wear so the glass doesn't, and it can be replaced when it is worn.
Yes. It can be professionally removed or replaced. If the film is damaged or worn, new film goes on in its place without affecting the windshield or the vehicle's sensors.
If you drive Deerfoot, Stoney Trail or the highways out of the city, it usually is. Winter gravel and summer construction make windshield chips common here, and replacing glass on a vehicle with driver assistance sensors is expensive. Read is windshield film worth it.
