For a couple of reasons: [a] To absorb any significant proportion of the incoming UV you need a much thicker layer than that. [b] There's hardly any incoming UV anyway! The vehicle's glass does a very good job of absorbing 90% of it. Most of the damage is caused by heat and some is caused by visible light. Plastics degrade - the only thing you can do to delay this is to keep them in a temperature controlled dark room. For the OP - your best solution is to drill small holes as Meatball said. You can then fill the holes/cracks with polyurethane sealant. If you do this carefully, they are a lot less visible. -- Grunff
