Absolutely, can confirm.
As I said, the windshield will still break, but will still be held together by the film.
Now as far as keeping thieves out it is far less useful as it can be cut with a very sharp object (same things firefighters do if they need to take someone out of a car with such films).
In fact, for safety, I did keep the rear glass without a film.
Fortunately, I no longer need to drive though that place but when I did, it made a world of a difference.
Exactly this.
In fact, it’s the same protection I have now at home in a couple of roof windows. Not because I expect attacks, but because I’ve got one more floor above and I want some safety in case something heavy and loose falls down during a storm.
The glass is gone anyways, but the goal is never to save the glass (that’s impossible, I guess) but to dramatically minimize the risk of personal injury.
