Windshield Protection Film: Is It Worth It for Calgary Roads?
If you live in Calgary, you've cracked a windshield. It's a rite of passage. But with HUDs and sensors, replacements now cost $1,500+.
Windshield Protection Film (like a giant phone screen protector for your car) is the solution. Here is how it works.
The Problem: Deerfoot Trail in Calgary
Calgary uses "pickle mix" (salt + gravel) in winter. At 100km/h, these stones hit your glass like bullets.
Cost of Replacement vs. Protection
OEM Windshield (with HUD/Sensors)$1,200 - $2,500
Windshield Protection Film$400 - $600
