Now despite having the film rip i'm happy that this only affected the film and not the underlying paint, heck we all got the film in the first place to protect the our paint. In the end I upgraded to a full hood "something i should have gone with originally". Im sure your local XPEL distributer would be more than happy to take care of the rips in your film.
My installer has told me tears/scuffs in the film are not covered, I would have to come out of pocket for film replacement. I also looked at my XPEL pamphlet I received at the time of install and it states XPEL is only warrantied against staining, yellowing, and cracking.
