Just a heads up for anyone that has bought these protectors, when you install the plastic protector on the plastic in the lower playfield the screws that hold the plastic down are raised higher and will now scratch into the underneath of the lower playfield. This was very disappointing to me and just a warning to anyone thinking of installing them.
Im sure I can polish it out but I need to find out if they just used acrylic on the lower playfield.

Mail Stern about it, they should be able to answer such questions.
I've got a set but haven't installed them yet . So if I read this correctly are you saying that the protector in the lower playfield causes the screw heads to rub against and scratch the underside of the clear window of the main playfield ??
Thanks for the heads up .
Anyone who has installed these protectors: Uninstall the protector from the lower playfield as soon as possible! If it is making contact it might pop the window/insert upward!! Go do it now, seriously.

Bump! This seriously needs to be made a sticky.

Quoted from markmon:How noticable are the scratched through the hazy window?
Its not noticeable at all unless you pull off the playfield.

Yes. It is more of an imprint of the screw head than scratches. Since it is perfectly aligned with the screws, it is unnoticeable. No big deal.
The important thing is that you remove the protector so it is not up against the window.
