From experience we always examine how things actually work for real and not in the perfect world. Not all windscreen repairs are in the middle of a windscreen which allows for a dome to fit securely to the glass.

What happens if the repair is near the corner or not too far away from the edge?

1.With all the gaps from the access point and from the edge how UV resistant can it be, 100% or 75%?

2. How windproof would it be in high winds? Surely it could take off if all the suction cups are not secure?

3. How rain proof would it be if you was caught in a shower mid repair?

4 How would you attach it to a vertical windscreen and how would you be able to work with a dome in position?

These questions come from our experience from using domes. In the perfect world they work in principle but in reality 50% of the time they are not usable.

They cost the best part of £100 and are only usable 50% of the time and ignore the fact that they are not 100% UV resistant.

If ever you see a picture of a dome in use its only ever in position in the middle of a windscreen, never hanging over the edge of a car!

It is a 10 out of 10 for effort and 10 out of 10 in appearance. However its 2 out of 10 for UV resistance, 2 out of 10 for being windproof and 2 out of 10 for protecting from a rain shower!

They are not likely to be BSI compliant in 2021 unless they are redesigned so what is their purpose?

With GT we only use 100% UV resistant shields which may not be as pretty as a dome but 100% effective. (Like its says on the tin!)

GT UV shields are a fraction of the cost of a dome yet 100% user friendly and 100% UV resistant, windproof and shower proof.
