Windshield Protection Film causing glare at night

Postby @MamboPorsche911 on Tue Nov 10, 2026 2:29 pm

I had windshield protection film installed by Ceramic Pro in Miramar on my new windshield, and I’m experiencing a lot of glare at night.

I mentioned it to Ceramic Pro, but they claim it’s normal. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? Their website claims the film is supposed to reduce glare.

Sometimes the glare is so bad that I have to reconsider driving at night.

Thanks!

Looks like the PPF was stretched too much during installation, which causes the distortion in the film. I had this problem with previous windshield films until I tried Ultrafit PPF on my GT4RS. I did my research and found a product from Ultrafit that was designed specifically for windshields and does not require stretching the film during application. I have the Ultrafit film on the windshield of my GT4RS and the clarity is so good you cannot tell there is any film on the windshield in bright sunlight or night.

Highly recommended for anyone that tracks their GT cars with expensive thin windshield glass.

Thanks for the reply.

Did you install it yourself or at a shop ?

Had my windshield PPF'ed with Ultrafit by Adonis Detail in Vista. They're an authorized Ultrafit installer and they do great work.
