But 3M does offer a service that you actually buy a window warranty from them, which they cover for the same time as the original warranty. It is relatively cheap and for peace of mind we purchased it. Basically what happens is that if a window cracks due to stress, 3M will replace the window as well as the film up to the original mfg warranty period.
Can't say for other companies what they might do, but this is what we have with the 3M film.

If "cracking" is what 3M warrants against, that is not the issue. From my understanding and what appears to be concurred with by other posts here, the problem is seal leakage resulting in moisture getting between the 2 panes of glass and fogging the view. If the 3M warranty does not cover that problem, then it does not seem to be worth much.
