Windshield Protection Film

Does anyone have a recommendation for windshield protection film? My windshield is already tinted & coated but I am looking for something to prevent chips, cracks, etc. Note that I have C-Bond in my AMG SUV but don't think it been truly tested yet.

Thanks in advance for any guidance or insight.

Are you willing to pay about $500 a year to replace the film? They only last at most a year before they're scratched and marred. Generally they're only worth it on exotic cars where windshield glass alone cost several thousand dollars

$500 per is reasonable but I understand your point. What film are you referring to?

I got EXOSHIELD installed on the front windshield, and am happy. I've had it for a few months already and the car is garaged, but you can't tell it is there. It is very transparent and offers a level of protection from rocks.

It is very thick so I see it as durable and the installed has had it over a year, without any issues of scratching or marring.

I got it done at TopEdge Window tinting on Long Island.
