Peel off windshield protectors for RV windshields

[Neal]

You see them in motor racing such as NASCAR. Wouldn't it be cool if we could apply something to the windshield once we have it cleaned and after we get to the destination we can peel off a layer to remove the bugs?

One of you ingenious inventors - invent something

 

[MapNerd]

you’d make a killing during love bug season. I would probably be a customer

On second thought, we’ve got enough plastic trash that we can’t get rid of as it is, so this would need to be biodegradable and how is that going to hold up on your windshield out in the elements?

Newmar has an option on their build sheet for “temporary windshield protection—for transportation only”. $92.00

Silly me thought it was incumbent on the manuf to get their product to the customer in one piece.

It is, but if they don’t you will have the pleasure of waiting for dealer service and a new windshield. The $92 option ensures that won’t happen.

That makes sense.

Nano-Fusion Paint Protection Film (PPF) uses a patented technology to infuse penetrating protection deep into the base urethane film. Nano-Fusion PPF is more conformable, easier to install and more resistant to yellowing and cracking than any top-coated film currently on the market.

Nano-Fusion!!!! What a time to be alive!

I’m right in the middle of a diamond shield removal project. Not a big fan at the moment.

Install on our 2020 DS was terrible. Trimmed poorly so edges don’t adhere allowing dirt underneath. Bubbles in it and bottom edge not sealed. It is on my warranty punch list to be replaced next month.

My 2019 had to be repaired during cpu.

I’ll make a note to look closely at that. Thanks!

I agree about DS. After having the “best” films out on a half dozen of my vehicles, I can say that the DS seems to be the worst! That opinion is because of it being so thin and fragile. And, when I saw a tech at Newmar struggling to hear and rip it off, I said what a nightmare!

I’ve had my high quality films repaired in small sections and it wasn’t a big deal.

Ok, so...windhshields. YES! They DO make films for vehicles. I checked on it a while back. But, the price is horrific. Yeah, better than paying for a windshield but Not if you have a high deductible like I do. I recall the film being upwards of 700-900?

You would think it’s cheap and easy since it’s merely a square. But, high quality film THAT YOU CAN SEE THROUGH WITHOUT DISTORTION is super expensive.

We need a SUPER-SIZED screen protector like our iPhones have. ?

And, I would imagine proper installation of several layers of film, with no bubbles etc. before each trip would be more trouble than just cleaning off the bugs.

I wonder how a film would hod up with the wipers on in a rainstorm

Did you do the removal yourself, or have someone do this for you? I'm looking at this on a coach I'm looking to purchase, any tips?

I did it myself. Ease or difficulty is completely dependent on the condition of the DS. The more ratted out it is, the more time consuming the job. If the DS is still in reasonable shape, it will come off in sheets. Otherwise, it comes off in dime-sized pieces and that can and will consume a weekend.

My neighbor hired a professional to remove the protective film that turned patchy brown. The guy worked 3 days inch by inch to remove it. I forgot the price, but it was few hundred $.
