The windshield-protecting film comprises a glass panel and an adhesive layer. The windshield-protecting film may be a protective guard for a windshield of a vehicle. The glass panel may be coupled to the windshield such that the glass panel covers the outside of the windshield. The glass panel may be made of tempered glass and may prevent debris from damaging the windshield if the debris strikes the windshield. The adhesive layer may adhere the glass panel to the outside of the windshield. As non-limiting examples, the debris may be gravel, stones, dirt, sticks, broken glass, or metal fragments that may be circulated by wind, throw from road surfaces by traffic, fall from overpasses, or fall off of trucks.

A method of and system for adhesive bonding by a) providing a polymerizable adhesive composition on a surface of an element to be bonded to form an assembly; b) irradiating the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength capable of vulcanization of bonds in the polymerizable adhesive composition by activation of sulfur-containing compound with at least one selected from x-ray, e-beam, visible, or infrared light to thereby generate ultraviolet light in the polymerizable adhesive composition; and c) adhesively joining two or more components together by way of the polymerizable adhesive composition.
