l was able to get my warranty registered with Xpel. They were very helpful but unfortunately any install issues I have need to be looked at by another install and I’ll be out of pocket for them.
If you can offer any advise DM me.

For what it is worth PPF warranties are fairly useless, they only cover manufacturing defects, which I have yet to see happen.
People get carried away with 5yr 7yr or 10ur warranties. It is all about the install, not a big difference between all the big top end brands....and it is sacrificial by nature.
All comes down to a good installer who stands behind the work.

The Xpel warranty is against bubbling of the film, cracking of the film, discoloration and staining of the film for 10 years, insurance covers it in the event of an accident or vandalism and any quality installer should stand behind the installation. We cover it for lifetime of ownership be it a bubble left behind, edge lifted or if the film ever comes off for any reason at all. What’s not covered is a rock or other form of penetration although as you eluded to, its a sacrificial layer to protect the paint and in most circumstances the film will protect the paint be it from a rock, sandblasting or many times minor collisions or a door ding. It’s of course not impermeable though I have near 200,000 Kms on my cars and only one rock has made it through and left a small dent and tiny paint chip. This is also wirh 6 trips mid winter to and from the west coast to the east coast. There’s also a few chips in the film from larger rocks where the film was puckered and saved the paint.
I can certainly agree that it comes down to the installer and how they stand behind their work as well.
Hope this helps to clarify some common misconceptions for all.

As a certified Xpel installer and doing this for 16 years now I can attest that issues can happen and when things get rushed and behind the 8 ball per sa issues of quality can, and do happen. I would ask to give him an opportunity to fix the issues, as the film is a semi permanent installation and he can always remove and replace the problem areas for you, do a little trim or put some edge prep on and edge not staying down.
from the pictures it only seems like a small bit of silvering which can be rectified by replacing those areas, and a small finger that should be an easy trim or may even still stick down if done recently.
I hope you two can resolve this and come to a conclusion that’s best for both involved to care for any outstanding issues.

Hwy everyone, I would recommend Leons Auto Body. They are a 5 star rating Tesla certified body shop repair facility in North York. They also provide services like Ceramic Coating, Paint Protection Film, and Window Tinting. They use only the highest products on the market with brands like Ceramic Pro and Xpel. If you have any issues with your Model Y from delivery you can get your service centre to direct you to take it to Leons to get them fixed under warranty. While your car is at the bodyshop you can get it protected at the same time. Save your time doing everything at one place.
Where did you end up getting your full PPF done? I'm looking for somewhere in the GTA
