as above they are not to bad to take of but be carefull cause it does rip easily the worst bit on mine was where it goes under the front screen we tried unsticking it from the rear but left it in because didnt look like it was going to come of without a struggle

As said, they rip easily! I haven't removed one myself but plenty of people have.

Like anything, a bit of time and patience and it should be done easily!

I think it is possible to stretch them when you are pulling at them.

The person to ask would be Twins, hes had his out and put it back in with perfect results, but then that said everything he does seems to be perfect

Worth a try though

Probably heating it up will help the glue un-stick, but watch you dont melt it
