Lol don’t let the woke Left see those stickers

My truck has to cure through the weekend, but got ExoShield added to the windshield with Xpel Fusion ceramic coating on the windshield as well. It is like PPF but for your windshield. Given that I have $200 in windshield tint, another $100 or so for Ford to recalibrate the cameras, and the fact that I don’t like to break the factory glass seal to replace the windshield, I wanted to give this a try. I have 50% 3M Crystalline on the windshield for reference. I also got the entire front end fully wrapped in Xpel. I didn’t have time to finish paint correcting the sides of the vehicle, so will be getting the sides done too

Interesting! I’ve always wondered about protection film on a windshield.

Nothing special, just an oil change.

Just for future reference if you have film on the windshield, and you have comprehensive coverage with a deductible lower than the cost of everything, the insurance company will pay to replace the film as well as the windshield. I have 3m ceramic 50% ($300) on my windshield and State Farm paid me to replace the film also. I also work for State Farm and know that it’s paid for. I totally understand not breaking factory seal.

ExoShield is based out of Ontario. My installer really likes the material and has had great success with it. It takes about 3 hours to shrink though because the material is thick, so your installer has to know what he is doing—it is not like window tint. My shop put it on a F350 that travels from Florida to Montana and the owner of that rig loves it! So that sold me as I will be making similar trips. The material is clear and you can’t even tell that is on the windshield. I will update things after this summer as I have some cross country travel planned and some off-roading trips in the mix too

Thanks for the info! I actually didn’t realize that. In Florida, windshield replacements are free for anyone with auto insurance. So in light of that, it is not worth filing a claim when you only have to pay for windshield tint and camera recalibration.

I have State Farm as well and they are great about covering any mods as long as you have documentation. I highly recommend any Raptor owner (especially heavily modified Raptors) to use them as you won’t be disappointed.

Lol and I wonder why your tint costs $100 more than mine when they are both the same.. should’ve came to Florida

The issue with State Farm is they will always use the cheapest parts - their policy allows for use of NON OEM parts if your vehicle is wrecked and needs repair. Dealbreaker for me. I used to use them, no more went to Geiko with better pricing and better CS.

Does anyone have a part number for those god awful nut plates that hold the front of the skid plate on? Removed my plate today and two of them are snapped and spin freely

That’s not my experience with State Farm whatsoever. What limits did you have with them? Also, did you have comprehensive? I had Geico prior to switching to State Farm and I had to argue with Geico about everything. Geico didn’t want to replace my windshields with OEM glass where State Farm did no questions asked. Moreover, State Farm would cover any of my modifications (mid travel, bumpers, lights, and so on) with no questions asked, I just have to provide my invoices when in a wreck. The agent I use also has a guy that does expensive SEMA builds and he has had no problems with his vehicles. I also know several Raptor owners that have over $100k into their trucks that have had no issues with State Farm either.
