@parb thanks for the heads up. I pulled my racing optics film out of the box this morning and unfurled it so that I can get it on tomorrow. That really stinks that it didn’t work. Good luck with the exoshield.

Good luck with the install, RobS. Please post some pics after you are done.

I bought this and had their recommended Installer put it on yesterday. The installer comes heavily recommended by others I know so I think they are competent.
They could not install it right, it wrinkles. The installer is convinced that the material isn't pre-shrunk for the slight radius that exists in our windshield. He called the company and so I will I. I think you're better off waiting until confirmed it works based on my experience.

I needed something for my road trip so I had exoshield installed instead. I'll let you know how it works out

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't ordered yet but that's a bummer. It appears it's jumped up from $229 to $249 too.

Yes please do share your experience with exo shield. I’m interested in having that installed be a local company. I believe it also comes with a warranty? Have you heard that also?

I bought the Racing Optics shield and installed it myself this evening. Not super excited, but most likely my inexperience, I couldn’t get the edges to adhere like Jeep install video. I didn’t have a heat gun, but will see how it looks in the morning.

Definitely not easy to keep the glass free of particles in the process.

@Tx246 this is exactly what the installers from tint world experienced. They took it off, that said that if the edges wrinkle it will come off quickly. It's just a matter of time according to them. They also said that if it needs to be stretched then you need to apply the heat gun early in the process, nothing in the instructions said that this was needed so they didn't.

The where on the phone with the manufacturer this morning sharing their experiences.

@MurphyMurph I had the installers put on exoshield. Looks really good. Will look better tomorrow According to the installers. I got 2 years of warranty with it. The installers from tint world registered the warranty for me unprompted.
