Well after 2 months of ownership, I finally removed the factory screen protector off my 12" screen. The fingerprints and the little yellow tab had to go.
I ended up with the screen protector from Screen ProTech after seeing 1Five1 Garage installation video on it. What drew me to Screen ProTech was the design of the protector, matte finish (when optioned), resistant to fingerprints and overall protection. Unlike some other protectors, this is designed so you see no edges. The protector will slide behind the bezel to conceal any exposed edges which could peel up and allow debris in.

Installation is not hard but I would suggest not rushing it. Instructions are provided by a QR code or simply watch 1Five1 Garage's and any others installation videos. I would say use a lot of the solution to give yourself more maneuverability and time. The gauge cluster can be a little tricky as its not a flat surface like the 12" screen and it angles back towards you. The hardest part of the installation for me was on the 12" screen where driver's side bezel was tighter in the middle than anywhere else. This might be different for others but I found I had to get my nail under the bezel and pull away at that part while sliding the protector behind it at the same time. I had to do this as well when using the applicator as it would bunch and bubble at the pinch point.
Other than that, installation went smoothly in the Bronco and I recommend picking up that extra set. I didn't use it on the Bronco, but I also got this for the 4Runner and had to use the second one on the gauge cluster ( I did this before I did the Bronco).
