I have it on our '11 CRV and it seems to work just fine…Of course I have already replaced the front window from a bad rock hit, but not when we were towing. I got the product that goes about 1/3 of the way up the hood. Previously had a Saturn with a full coverage(including window) towing bra, and a Forester with a semi fixed bra. The Saturn rig was most protective but somewhat of a PITA, the Forester bra covered less than my current film bra and did mess a little with the car finish. FWIW from wet Reno
