Windscreen protection?

[Alaskossie]

Has anyone used, for impact and abrasion protection on their Seven, the type of "tear-off" windshield film that is available in custom-cut kits for some cars?

 

See: http://www.protint.com/Racing/to_proshield.htm

 

I haven't checked yet to see if a simple, flat film suitable for a Seven is available.

 

I am replacing my windscreen, and would like to give it some protection against the stone chips that my present windscreen has picked up.

 

A friend from Australia, Giles Cooper, drove his Lotus Elise from California to Alaska and back last summer, and he told me the stuff worked well on his long-distance car. See his trip blog:

I have not used it yet but was planning to when I replace the windshield after the next big trip. The current glass is maybe 5 years old and pitted like the moon.

 

I was looking at this material. One roll should be enough for several windshields. However, although the flat glass of a Seven should simplify the process, the installation instructions look like a difficult job to get it on without trapping dust or air.
