What's Covered

Film Integrity

Crystal Shell films are guaranteed against manufacturing defects: cracking, delamination, bubbling, excessive haze, and non-uniform yellowing from standard environmental exposure.

  • Self-healing top coat maintains clarity under day-to-day conditions.
  • UV-stable polymers resist discoloration under typical sunlight and chemical exposure.
  • Properly wrapped edges remain sealed when installed per Crystal Shell’s installation guide.

Adhesion & Finish

We warrant the bond between film and properly prepped OEM paint/substrate when the installer followed the Crystal Shell installation guide.

  • No lifting, peeling, or persistent residue when cleaned with recommended products.
  • Finish retention keeps gloss or satin levels within product spec (normal wear excluded).
  • Coverage is transferable with documented maintenance and registered warranty.

Installer Craftsmanship

Workmanship for Crystal Shell Certified Partners is covered by a 12-month craftsmanship pledge, including panel fitment, seam alignment checks, clean edge wrapping, and hidden-cut compliance.

  • Customer onboarding includes care and maintenance guidance at delivery.
  • Non-certified installs remain material-only; workmanship issues are resolved with the installer.

Exclusions

We believe in transparency—here are scenarios that fall outside warranty coverage.

Environmental

  • Impact damage from collisions, road debris, hail, or vandalism.
  • Paint defects, resprays, or clear-coat failure underneath the film.
  • Embedded contamination from neglect (e.g., sap etched over time).
  • Chemical stripping agents, graffiti removal solvents, or abrasive polishing breaching the top coat.
  • Natural disasters and acts of God.

Improper Handling

  • Unapproved removal/reinstallation or cutting after delivery.
  • Installation on repainted, repaired, or non-OEM surfaces without written approval.
  • Neglecting maintenance guidance, including strong-solvent or abrasive use.
  • Unauthorized modifications, aftermarket body kits, or panel realignment without updated approval.
  • Commercial wraps outside product spec (race use, off-road abrasion beyond normal road use).

FAQ

Does the warranty cover rock chips or dents from road debris?

No. Impact damage is excluded. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and adhesion/finish issues under normal use.

Will windshield film stop all cracks?

No film can guarantee prevention of glass breakage. Our coverage is for material defects and optical clarity, not impact outcomes.

Can I use a pressure washer?

Yes, with care: keep the nozzle over 1 meter away and avoid spraying directly at edges or seams.

What if my car was repainted?

Installations on repainted, repaired, or non-OEM panels are not eligible for Crystal Shell warranty coverage. Only OEM paint is covered.

How do I transfer the warranty to a new owner?

Email support@crystalshell.com within 30 days of sale with VIN, proof of purchase, and maintenance records.

What happens if my installer goes out of business?

Contact warranty@crystalshell.com. We'll coordinate inspection with a Certified Partner and honor eligible coverage.

Do I need to keep maintenance receipts?

Yes. Maintain proof of products used and service dates; they support coverage during claims.
