Clear Bra Removal

[Bellydawg]

I searched the past postings and can not find any info on removal of a clear bra. I picked up a used 2001 Acura MDX that has a clear bra installed. It is in sad shape as far as haze and slight discoloration.

Is there a procedure to remove one at home or is it easier to bring it to a shop? Most of the web sites only speak of the installation process. I have tried to remove it in several areas yet only get very small pieces. Thought about using a hair dryer to heat it up before removing. I don't plan on having one reinstalled.

Any thoughts are appreciate.

I would call a local installer and see what they suggest for removal...seems to me from everyone that I have seen, heat will loosen up the glue and allow you to peel it back...seems time consuming....but the only way that I can see it coming off

The shop I am acquainted with has had problems with the paint peeling at times taking theirs off so if it were me I wouldn't attempt it myself.

Have a shop that applies it take it off and make sure they don't waiver responsibilty for paint damage.

I have mixed feelings about clear bras. They have gotten better over the years but I still don't like the looks of them. That coupled with their expense and the fact that they start showing damage after a while too keeps me from having it done to my cars.

I just found this on the net...seems like you have to get the temp up to 120 degrees to peel it off....I'm with Troy on this one...let the an installer take it off.

I personally don't care for the looks either plus it has not aged well. Thanks for the input and link. I'll have to get some quotes on removal.
