[HVC16] Scratches on my Honda Clarity Touch Screen! Adding a Screen Protector!

I discovered I have scratches on my Honda Clarity Infotainment center touch screen. So I have added a custom cut RUIYA screen protector ( https://amzn.to/3a9y6uE ) which i bought from Amazon for 2 for $9 or so. This is a hard plastic sheet and not tempered glass.

Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I never had scratches on my touch screens before with my Chevy Volt or any of my other cars, so this was surprising to find scratches. I use a high quality car Costco microfiber cloth ( https://amzn.to/3a8oUXy ) to clean my fingerprints from the screen, however dont think it was the cloth. I normally wipe horizontally. The scratches were vertical and only on spots were my fingers slid to change the audio navigation. I suspect it caused by my finger nails.

The RUIYA screen protector ( https://amzn.to/3a9y6uE ) kit came with 2 screens, two install kits, and a hard plastic card for pushing bubbles. I followed the instructions cleaned with the alcohol wipes, then the mini microfiber, then picked off the any lint or dust with the two anti dust stickers. To apply the screen the instructions on the release tabs are wrong. Start with tab “1” to release the adhesive side. Apply to screen, aligning the screen protector to the top of your center screen. Then slowly place the screen protector on from on corner to the diagonally to the other corner to avoid any bubbles. I had 2 faint bubbles on my screen after applying it. I used the plastic card and my fingers to push it off the edge but it stated. The two faint bubble disappeared after 24 hours or so.

Overall I am satisfied with the screen protector, and i will do a long term review in 6 to 12 months.

Stopping Drafts – Replacing Door Weather-Strip with Rubber Window Seal to stop drafts (Part 1)

I found out that the door weather striping was too old and had to be replaced. We bought a roll of self adhesive Silicone Rubber Window Seal in a wave shape ( https://amzn.to/2u65SQV ) to replace the 10+ year old plastic nylon weather striping. The wave shape was better for the corner application of the door. It took about 10-20 minutes per door as we had to remove the old seals with a putty knife ( https://amzn.to/2SFEBzc ) before cleaning the surface with fast drying rubbing alcohol 90% ( https://amzn.to/2Fa00sg ) for the peel and stick window seal. We used a pair of scissors ( https://amzn.to/2MPjS8h ) to trim the extra.

For our door, there were much larger gaps found, so we put another row of rubber window seal to cover closer to center of the door with less gap. We closed the door to check for light leak and drafts. At the end of the project there were do drafts coming from the the door except for the base of the door which we will cover in our next video. We will replace the broken under door draft guard.
