The Nav tempered glass screen protector installs well and looks good.

This 8.4 inch tempered glass screen protector for the in-dash info center/navigation screen was easy to install. Follow the instructions and everything will go smoothly. Removing dust and fingerprints from the screen before attaching the protective glass is critical and time consuming. It's time well spent. I put on a pair of nitrile gloves (Harbor Freight) to keep oil and finger dust off the screen during cleaning and installation. The LFOTPP installation kit includes: a small suction cup, a duster, an alcohol wipe and 2 sticky dust traps. Before using their kit, I wiped the nav screen down with a clean, lint free cloth and 70% alcohol to remove fingerprints and dust. The corners of the screen seem to catch dust particles, so I took the time to remove them. I noticed that the nav screen is actually about 1/16 inch from the bezel, so it looks like dust is hiding in that crack. I have found that strong light shining on the screen helps me see dust particles and it also helps to be able to move the light. Finally, use sticky dust bags to catch the particles. I made the mistake of swiping sticky paper over part of the screen only to find that the sticky substance had smeared the screen - back to the first step - wipe the screen with alcohol. The film has a very thin adhesive layer and protective plastic that must be removed prior to installation. This screen protector is not 100% suitable for 8.4 inch navigation screen. There is less than 1/8 inch clearance around the protective screen and the nav screen. I'm assuming this was done to give you some "wiggle room" when installing. You can attach the screen protector in the corners. Peel off the backing of the screen protector and hold it by the edges and suction cup and apply. Do not touch the back of the screen - the adhesive side sucks. I was lucky and didn't have these problems. I would recommend using latex or nitrile gloves, having a strong light source, using your own alcohol wipes or lint free cloth, and taking as much time as needed to clean the navigation screen. I didn't follow the process but I think I probably spent 20 minutes cleaning and installing. How it works and what I think of the screen protector after using it for a while will bring me back to add to this review.
