    Chris,

    The protection film doesn’t usually go over the edge of a panel but stops a couple of mm short. Mainly because the chance of a stone hitting that small of an area is very small.

    We tend to use Suntek branded or Solutia (CP Films) due to discounts for the amount of window film our companies buy.

    Edit: We’ve bought in pre cut and made our own depending on vehicle etc.
