Installed Clarivue RNS510 screen protector

[71sbeetle]

So I finally installed my Clarivue screen protector on my RNS 510 !
It was a very easy very straightforward install, just clean the screen with included LCD cleaning cloth, remove static backing, place the protector on correctly, remove front static cover and you're done !
There is no glue involved, just static (and it's pretty strong) so easy to remove and re-use.
I took the "ultra-clear" finish which is "shiny", it matches the piano black surround in shine, makes the screen look more high def for some reason, so far no complaints on reflections but they do offer a "anti-glare" version.
I got it from here:
http://www.clarivue.com/volkswagen-r...protector.html
After using two coupons it ended up being $14.39 shipped
Coupons I used were:
Clarivue7
clear123
If those are expired when you read this thread, just Google "clarivue coupon".
Enjoy !

Good looks on the coupon and link! Been meaning to get something like this for a while.

[hondadude]

Looks great!

I have to look into one of these.

[HOVTroll]

Just picked one up.. The only coupon code that still works is the clear123 just for anyone else deciding to give it a try.

[71sbeetle]

that's what I figured about the coupon, did you try googling for a new one ?

[vwauug]

What a great product! Do you get any glare from the sun? The stock face seems anti-glare. Any issues with the clear?

so far so good :knock on wood:

[71sbeetle]

still good !
My friend that has a 2010 GTI with RCD510 rode in the car today, the first thing he asked was how I got a high definition screen ! it's that obvious, it makes the screen look so much clearer !

[dpg]

i have the anitglare one and it doesn't work too well

as far as stopping the glare you mean ?

the one I have (not the anti glare version) does reflect some light, but it's not bothering as I can still see/read what's on the screen

Keep your talons trimmed and you won't need one of these

sorry i didnt see sooner. thats my fault. but yes, the anti glare didn't stop or even reduce the glare

is the screen protector actually a bit smaller than the screen itself? the one i received was a bit bigger than the screen so i had to tuck the extras into the trim around the screen. now by doing this, all 4 corners and sides does not lay flat.

[71sbeetle]

mine was the exact size

[th31nfamous]

this happened in one corner on mine too. I bought 2 so when I redo it I will try to slide it under the trim before I lay it down. other the that one corner tho I thing it looks great.

[outlawtartan]

Ordered mine with the XMAS code and it's on the way! thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately I screwed up the install...

Make sure it's absolutely positively dust free or you will have bubbles...

mine looked so ugly that i had to remove it and its garbage now. it was a bitch to remove because the corners were tucked in. i suggest u not doing it again if you only have one corner sticking out, mine had all 4 corners and all 4 sides sticking out.

i emailed clarivue about this problem and they said that all their screen protectors were cut in stacks so they should be all the same size and said that it may be VW that is inconsistant with the screen size.

You were sent the wrong size.....

i got a rcd310. which one should i order, rns210 or rcd510 (im guessing rcd510)

[Nvturbo]

Just placed my order for the RCD-510 (ultra clear). I hope it works as some have mentioned.

I'm about to install one in our 2012 Jetta too

What do you clean yours with?

It looks great and I don't want to clean the dust and smudges with something that might ruin the film.

I also don't want to buy their pre-moistened cleaning tissues. Their web site doesn't mention any thing about cleaning and keeping it looking clear and hi-def.

[71sbeetle]

I actually use a swiffer duster in my car does a great job at taking the dust out and sooooo easy to use in the car. As for the smudges I just use a regular cotton towel that I keep in the car if I ever need to wipe something off (the smaller hand towels you know like you have in the bathroom to dry your hands).

[Nvturbo]

I use those soft towels...NOT TERRY TOWELS to clean the smudges occasionally. As for the initial install, just follow the easy instructions and all will be good.

[71sbeetle]

I installed the same one on our 2012 Jetta, not sure if it's a different material or what but it seems to get dirty MUCH faster, fingerprints all over mine doesn't do that.

Mine seems to attract more dust/debris than before. Oh wells.

Thank you guys. So both of you do not use any liquid to clean them.

[FoneTap]

you guys don't seem very interested in my alternative, but the bestskinsever product doesn't attract dust, is not vulnerable to washing (scrub away) and doesn't take fingerprints.

It's incredibly tough and resilient.

I had the clarivue before, this is way WAY better.

and NO I don't work for them.

[dachief]

I went ahead and got the bestskinever - got one for my Palm Pixie Plus too...
