Pre-Applied Film & Screen Protector Guide

Remove the black shipping film and the thin transparent factory film, then apply a tempered glass screen protector. Do not apply the glass on top of the factory film.

RiderNav displays ship with two protective films. Remove the black outer film and the thin transparent factory film before you apply a tempered glass screen protector. Do not apply the glass on top of the factory film.

Black protective film (outer layer)

This is the temporary film used for shipping protection. Remove it before you use the display.


Transparent factory film (inner layer)

This film is pre-applied at the factory to help protect the screen during shipping and handling. We recommend you peel it off, then apply a tempered glass protector if you want lasting protection.

  • Remove the transparent factory film before you apply tempered glass.

  • Leaving the factory film on under the glass is not recommended.

If the surface later looks like it is peeling, bubbling, or scratched, the marks may be on this factory film rather than the glass. For how to identify and peel it, see About the pre-applied screen film on your R7M / R7X.


Tempered glass screen protector (not pre-installed)

A tempered glass screen protector is not pre-installed. After you have removed both factory films, you can add one here: 7-Inch Tempered Glass Screen Protector.
