Just picked up the GX from Esoteric and the windshield is as clear as …. Well …. “glass”… , but after my tribulation with failed (heat etched WPF) - a clear windshield is a welcome change.

As before, the 70% windshield tint drastically reduces IR and on paper 99% of UV.. and the WPF is back to repelling the elements and doing its job preventing window chips and cracks.

Happy that the process only cost me the gas having to drive back and forth to have the issues addressed under warranty by both the Tint and WPF guy.

Will see how this new windshield set up holds up over time.

And with the black PPF trim the vehicle truly “pops”…
