Applying the Film to the Windscreen
NOTICE
Before applying the film to the windscreen, check all applicable 
laws and ordinances in the area where you drive. Some laws 
prohibit or restrict the application of film to the front window. It is 
your responsibility to apply the film in compliance with all 
applicable laws and ordinances. Garmin is not responsible for 
any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a 
result of any law or ordinance relating to the use of your Garmin 
device.
