Does the film provided by 4S stores come with a warranty?
2 Answers
4S stores do not provide a warranty for the film they offer. Here is an introduction to vehicle film: 1. Introduction: Car film is a thin layer applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of a vehicle. This layer is also known as solar film or heat-insulating film. 2. Function: Its main purposes are to block ultraviolet rays, reduce heat, prevent injuries from shattered glass, and reduce glare. Additionally, the one-way transparency feature of solar film helps protect personal privacy. 3. Thickness: Automotive heat-insulating film typically has a thickness of about 1.5 mil. Mil is an imperial unit, where 1 mil equals one-thousandth of an inch, or 0.0254 mm.
Regarding the warranty of the film provided by 4S stores, I often get asked by fans. Generally speaking, most free films come with a warranty, but don’t expect perfection—the warranty period is usually 1 to 3 years, covering common issues like bubbling or uneven adhesion. The key is to clarify the details with the salesperson when purchasing the car and get a written proof, as verbal promises can be misleading. The quality of free items varies; some cheap films may start peeling after a few years, making repairs time-consuming and troublesome. I recommend prioritizing the warranty coverage, such as whether it includes fading or human-caused damage. To maintain the film, avoid scrubbing with hard brushes and park in shaded areas to reduce sun exposure. If there’s no warranty, consider buying a better brand yourself—don’t skimp on small savings only to regret it later. In short, proactive confirmation ensures peace of mind.
