Alright just installed it, took about 10 mins to install everything looks fine except there's 1 big ass bubble on the left side that I can't do anything about... It looks very ugly!!

you need to check if your screen is actually flat. That's what i found on my head uint and I had the same issue - the screen itself is not flat on the corner. i managed to get rid of the bubble by pressing it every day and eventually, it won't pop up again. lol

this is not a test piece, it's for the shift knob panel where you have "PRNDSL"

I took the screen protector out and checked, the problem is the screen itself is not flat but the glass is, so that's why this bubble shows up here, I tried to press the plastic bezel next to it and it made the bubble smaller eventually the bubble goes away.

Add 1 more, so now 4. LOL

Seriously though, I have the giant bubble in the upper right corner and can't seem to get rid of it. It is hardly noticeable when the HU is on. I only notice it when the screen is dark. I do really like that it's 'like' gorilla glass, and so far has not presented any problems with operation of the screen options. I'll be patient to see if the bubble slowly disappears. Still think it was worth the money. I did not get that extra piece. GRR.

Do you have link to the door sills? I am specifically interested in the scuff guard on the door itself. I hate scraping and leaving marks on the door every time I get out of the car. I can't find any on eBay. If I search for "door sill", all I see are the ones that go on the step. Thanks!

I have a similar 6H tempered glass protector on my 5.7" phone screen, and was initially looking for the same sort of thing for the Display Audio Screen. However, I have never had a single one of those tempered protectors that didn't lift at the edges, even in the most perfect of applications. The ones for phones are tempered glass because shattering impacts are common. I know reviews of the Display Audio fault it for complexity... but what owner is going to skip through rage 1-4 and go berserk on it? I got this film protector. I wanted something to prevent scratches, smudges, and reduce reflection and glare. It went on super-easy on the first attempt, and the few bubbles that were there were easily pushed out with a credit card.

If you're heart absolutely desires a tempered glass protector, get a spray applicator from a phone kit; then, clean the screen, and your fingertips before applying. If you want bonus points for reducing dust while applying the protector, use a humidifier hooked up to an inverter or bring a bunch of heated up water in the car to give off vapor.

I haven't scratched anything inside or out on my new Civic, but I bought a set of self-healing clear film door cup and sill guards. I'll be putting those on this weekend.

Which sill guard film are you going to put on. I am thinking about doing the same. I applied 3M door guard film just the other day.
