Around here, all the shops do it. The Mazda dealer also covers the headlights. So I find it hard to believe Mazda would deny a warranty claim when they install the film.
I've seen it on some real expensive cars, and the HL's are always done. The only thing I do to the film, once a month, I give it a quick wipe with some spray wax goo, that the install shop supplied. After 1.5 years, it looks like new.
Anyone planning to add the film to a new vehicle, do some homework before buying the car. It can be used in the negotiating game.
Our dealer farms this out to a specialty shop, so it's pretty easy to round up a couple quotes or check out the shop doing the work. We made a deal with Mazda for a whole list of extras, which I was going to get anyways.. These extras have big markups, so they have lots of wiggle room. It's funny how prices change when they want to move vehicles off the lot.
My list was.........full 3M pkg, remote start, all weather mats, cargo floor mat, cargo cover, almost half price if buying it later. All this was done before I drove it off the lot.
