Hello fellow owners, I had a full PPF installed on my Touring. There’s a small piece of FOD captured under my hood’s film. I’m trying to decide if I want them to remove the FOD and reapply the film, or use as is. Has anyone else noticed any FOD? If so, has it negatively impacted the adhesion of the surrounding area?
Thanks!
 
What is FOD?
 
Foreign object debris
 
It’s Foreign Object Debris. There’s particle trapped between the film and the paint. If you look closely you can see that it’s under the film. Installer offered to remove and replace, but we agreed to let it ride, and replace it if it becomes a problem. Installer is very easy to work with.
Thanks,
Kai Noi
 
I had similar thing on my passenger window tint. I noticed it a week after install and then every time I looked out the window couldn't focus on anything other than the FOD. But replacing a side window film was nothing compared to a hood on a Lucid.
