I have "been there done that" with those stupid plastic stick on sheets
too.
I gave up years ago and bought a piece of tempered glass. I am on my 3rd
year and it still is fairly clear. (just don't aim the gun at it) I
choose tempered glass because I do knock the part into the glass on
occasion. I have yet to break the glass. The glass takes much more abuse
then those plastic things do and windex cleans it quite well. My local
glass shop charged me 15 or 18 bucks for the glass. That's only 5 or 6
of those sheets. He suggested double strength glass but I still opted
for tempered just incase I break it it would turn to a million diamonds
instead of 3 or 4 jagged pieces of glass that could cut the gloves or my
hands.
