Frequently Asked Questions

Will Windshield Defense Protect Against Rock Strikes?

Yes! Defense will protect your Jeep® Windshield from pesky rock chips and other debris that often cause chips and cracks on your windshield.

How Long Will the Product Last?

We recommend removing a layer every six months but it can last longer depending on your windshield usage.

What Vehicles is Windshield Defense Available for?

We offer laser pre-cut sizes to fit the Jeep® Wrangler (TJ, JK, and JL) and the Jeep® Gladiator (JT).

Does My Windshield Need to Be Brand New?

No. However, we recommend installing Windshield Defense™ only on undamaged windshields. Any prior imperfections could become more visible in the film.

Can I Use This Product if I Have Gorilla® Glass?

Yes, and we recommend you do! Gorilla® Glass can still get damaged by rock strikes, causing large chips in your windshield. Those chips can lead to cracks and breaks in the glass.

Protect your Gorilla® Glass investment with Windshield Defense™!

How Many Layers Are Included?

Your Windshield Defense™ installation includes three layers of UV-resistant polyester. Each layer is 3 mil thick and can be individually removed as needed. Our patented design allows the film to be removed with the adhesive sticking to the discarded layer.

I bought the product but don’t feel comfortable installing it myself. Where can I have it installed?

We recommend having an Authorized or Certified Installer in your area do the installation. Chips N Crax is an Authorized and Certified Installer for the San Diego and surrounding areas. Call for an appointment at (760) 685-5300. A local tint store can also install, but it can’t give a warranty on installation or product defects.

How Long Should I Wait Before Driving the Vehicle After Windshield Defense™ Has Been Installed?

Before driving your Jeep® with Windshield Defense™ installed, we recommend letting the product cure for 2 to 4 hours. After installing the film onto your windshield, let it sit for an hour indoors to ensure the film has had the proper time to adhere. After that time, you can bring the vehicle outside to let it continue curing in the sunlight.

How long should I wait after Windshield Defense™ has been installed before driving my Jeep® in the rain? And how long do I need to wait until I can clean the windshield?

We recommend waiting for at least 24 hours before any exposure to rain and 3-5 days before any car wash.

You can clean the windshield after the product has had roughly 1 hour to cure. Use only ammonia-free glass cleaner. We recommend Sprayway Glass Cleaner & Chemical Guys Signature Series Glass Cleaner.
