That's what I thought, (protective film), but the way customer explained it he was
sure it was supposed to be there & he had damaged it. I forgot to mention he had
dropped it a short distance, & thats when he saw the scratch. Played w/it & said he
made it a little worse, like he was peeling away the tint, that belonged there???
Next time he stops in I'll ask him to look more closely or bring it in.
Thanks for the replys,
Let you know if I find out what the "film" is,
