Windshield Protection

[GreekMalaka]

Does the XPEL on the windshield seem to self heal the wiper scratches over time and/or between rain storms?
Anyone have cost on the XPEL for GX windshield install?

I got priced at $550 for the new Xpel windshield protection product. Sales person for the detailing shop said film has to be replaced when as it gets worn/used, but should get over a year+. Clarity is excellent and wiper marring only comes if the wipers and windshield are very dirty. The film does self heal so if you get some marring, sales rep said to leave it in direct sunlight.
Considering I live in an area with bad roads, tons of salt and debris flying around, I'm going to go forward with it.

Two options on the protection... I have the new super clear XPEL windshield film and its been holding up great. The second option is protection plan and they apply a coating the plan is I think $700-$800 and it covers 5 years and multiple true OEM replacements if it cracks. Both options they have in stock at Gulf Coast Auto Shield here in houston. Ask for John Gray he is the owner and also has a GX550 OT+. He will make sure you're well taken care of. Google Search -- ALSO, coming from a 4runner with multiple windshield replacements from s reputable non-oem glass I am going to only put on OEM glass in the future due to the quality of non-OEM is typically bad when looking at it in direct sunlight you can see tons of specs and imperfections.

Thanks so much. I talked to John, the owner of Gulf Coast Auto Shield. He was very helpful. As soon as I get my new windshield, I’m taking it there for the XPEL film.

I must be confused. Why would you pay to have a film put on your windshield if your wipers can damage it? Possibly if you absolutely never need the wipers? With mountain roads, the associated dust, bugs, bird poop, snow etc....nope. Glass seems to hold up ok for me.

Paint protection is a totally different situation.
