Nav "screen protector".... easy DIY!!!!

[javierdos]

Hi STANMANH

I don't know the dimensions. I just bought an iPad 9.7 inch screen protector and used a ruler to estimate size.
Screen protector has been on my car for about a year now and no issues at all. Looks like the 1st day I installed. I used Power Support screen protector. Don't skimp on quality of protector. Unless you want to regularly keep replacing it.

Ok, Many thanks
Best regards

I have the '16 Ultimate with the 9.2" screen. My cut was exactly 8"x4.5". The fit was spotted on.

I ordered the nushield and it came with a kink in it. Hopefully I won't have any trouble returning it.

also - did the new protector do anything to hide the scratches & marks that were already on the screen?

Disregard. I stripped off the rest of the factory layer using Stoner's Invisible Glass wiped - which was mentioned in another thread. New protector is on the way.

Nushield sent me a replacement for the kinked on they sent. Works like a charm. Direct sunlight and I can still read the screen as though it is in shade.

Re: Nav "screen protector".... easy DIY!!!!

Recently, after going to my local car wash. I noticed that the workers were very rough in cleaning the navigation screen. They left light but noticeable scratches on my nav screen. I got to thinking of what would my screen look like in a few years?

So to further protect and maintain long term appearances. I installed an Ipad screen protector (Belkin clear screen). the Ipad screen protector had to be cut down to size. The final fit was perfect. Leaving minimal reflective glare in day and evening light. Screen with protector worked with no degradation in touch sensitivity.

Now if my screen gets scratched, I'll just replace with a new one.

I think a matte finish would be superb. But, I understand that the Nav screen coating is equally dimishable. I've discovered that the https://comparily.com/best-touch-screen-monitor/ are the least prone to scratches. They happen to have a 'lip' on the dash thus preventing the injurious sun rays and avoiding the annoting glare. I would definitely recommend them to any one endeavoring to keep their touch screens as new as ever.
