It doesn't look like paint protection film would have covered the lip under the fender where it looks like the side marker pushed up into the fender (probably from hitting a snow bank - you guys have those in Canadia, right?). Besides, the force from the side marker pushing up looks to have caused the paint to crack/peel away from the surface of the fender, not something hitting the side of the car. How would clear bra have saved the paint from delaminating from the fender?

The 2nd spot looks to be at the leading edge of the roof. AFAIK, clear bra installers wouldn't extend the clear bra all the way to the very edge of the roof to butt up against the windshield. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't seem like clear bra would have helped in either of these cases.
