    Hey guys!

    I thought sharing this quick OEM radio screen protector DIY. This tempered glass protection gives it a better feel when navigating through your screen and will further protect your actual screen from unwanted scratches. Specially from your wife’s nails:p!
    Very easy to install and looks great imho!

    Yes I had one on my ‘21 and it was one of the first things I did on the new one. Very easy to install.

    That was one of the first things I got for my Runner. Love it. Easy to clean, and smooth touch.

    I installed one of these when vehicle was new, it has since developed some sort of heat bubble/discoloration. I'm guessing do to heat in the summer. It seems to be in between the plastic layers , not a bubble of air. Also I did not clean my screen with the alcohol swab provided. I had read reviews of the pad scratching the screen.
    I did order another to eliminate the discoloration bubbles. These can only be seen in direct light, night driving not affected.

    Do you have a picture of the discoloration/bubble you can provide with? I’m guessing is not the same brand I posted here.

    Edit original post with pics. The bubbles are from the adhesive side of the protector delaminating from the plastic itself basically. I'm good with getting 2 years out of these for 20 bucks.I will also include pic on this post with new screen protector installed.

    That’s what I was thinking as well, if it lasted thus long is totally worth it!:thumbsup:
