Protect the Windscreen with Thin Films

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Windshield

Over time, the windscreen loses its original shine due to abrasion from sand and other agents, while for maximum visibility, it must be perfectly clear. To achieve this, there are special films available that, when applied to the vehicle, help prevent the ageing of the glass. The application of these films requires special equipment, a complete kit of films and solvents specific to the type of vehicle they are to be applied to. After thoroughly cleaning the windscreen, apply the special film to the various parts, then use a tool to remove air bubbles and adhere the film using a heat source.
