I use my normal wiper fluid, the only thing they said was to always use the wiper fluid and not run them dry. It gets hot where I live, but maybe not quite Florida hot.
I have the film they're showing in that video. It was easy to install and its coming up on a year and it still is working great. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
My friends seem to replace their windshield about every 6 months, so its already more than paid for itself. No-deductible...
I've been really happy with this film on mine: https://www.grab-gard.com/products/ford-bronco-windshield-protection-kit
I installed it myself (with my wife helping for another set of hands)
I was wondering about the windshield as well, it almost looked like it was going to make it through. It didn't shatter out until it finally landed.
Speaking of which, stuck the landing!
I'm coming up on a year. At about 15k miles.
The only issue that I had was a broken windshield shortly after delivery. I hopefully will prevent that with this film, which has been great so far:

Mostly doing daily...
If you're thinking of doing any PPF or windshield protection film, I'd recommend thinking about that first, since those can't go over the top of the ceramic coating, but ceramic coating can go over those films. This is the windshield film that I used...
Sucks, but I'm guessing the issue is more with the shipping company than the retailer. Hard to ship something large like that without it banging around at some point.
Maybe they'll give you a partial refund?
I've been using this film on my windshield to protect it:

But now you guys have me wondering if I should add a deflector as well, to protect the hood. You've got me thinking.
I'm still rocking this film, and am really happy with how it's protecting my windshield still:

Yeah, it depends on the specific tech that safelite sends out. Some are pretty bad, others are fine. I'd recommend this film I have on mine to prevent more broken windshields: https://www.grab-gard.com/products/ford-bronco-windshield-protection-kit
I installed it myself, they had a video to follow along, my ppf guy actually recommended I do that. It's been great, by the next morning, I couldn't even tell it was on there. It seems to be very durable so far, I'm hoping to get about 18 months to a year out of it. Guys from my off-road club...
Cars aren't built like they used to be, they're far more engineered. Taking it easy in the break in period can't hurt, but it isn't as crucial as it was decades ago. Just take it easy for the first many hundreds of miles and don't drive very fast, but don't stress if you need to get the revs up...
Since the tint costs money, I'd recommend putting something like this on, or if you break the windshield, you'll be paying even more to replace than just the $1k or so for the windshield:

My friend has 70% on his...
Also agree with a ceramic coating, makes it far easier to get that junk off.
I put on this film first, to keep rocks from breaking the windshield: https://www.grab-gard.com/products/ford-bronco-windshield-protection-kit
Then right after that, I had partial ppf done, and had the ppf guy...
Looks beautiful. I kind of wished I had gone with a matte ppf, but I didn't want to spring for full ppf, only went with partial. My ppf guy also suggested that I put this film onto my windshield to prevent broken windshields, I'd recommend it. Then after the film, I put ceramic coating over...
It looks great! I've been really happy I went with ppf. It helps me relax a bit. I think the biggest cause of scratches and paint chips isn't objects on the trail hitting the vehicle, but mud/rocks coming up odd of the tires and cars in front of you (on road).
I also had my ppf guy add a...
