Body Block Shield (Summit Products)
Have been considering getting this Body Block shield installed on our Phaeton. Does anyone have this one or a similar product? If so, have you had any issues with it or noticed any additional heat ...

O.K this is my opinion so take it for what it is worth. Lovlabs, you said that the shield would look like plastic couch covers. What exactly is that film on your Phaeton? I had that junk removed and then repainted. They wanted 1200 dollars to add that stuff back on.
When you get a rock chip in your film and mold grows behind it, remember your response to this thread. There is also the was edge peeling that will start in the near future. Anyway, good luck.
Your 2003 Phaeton had 3M film which was more like plastic seat covers than the new stuff. I've seen older Tiffins with the 3M stuff with mold growing underneath it and it is ugly. People in dry climates still look like new.
The difference with the new films is that you basically can't see it unless you look close. I've had rocks take out my fog light (thanks Oregon Dept of Highways) but the area around the light and the rest of the front cap was unmarked.
To the OP: People I have talked to who have made the Alaska trip have been more worried about the front of their cars than the motorhome. Things happening to the front of the motorhome are usually windshield and not the front area below the windshield.
