Is it easy to remove? I lease my car so i want to be able to turn it in scuff free :). Thanks! PS It's a 2013 Elantra.

You remove the suction cups & clean the window & it shouldn't leave any evidence it was ever there.

It's so easy to remove, it just falls off. In fact, it's so easy to remove that it's difficult to keep it attached to the window at all.

I don't use the suction cups. I just fit it on the opening and tuck it under the window frame. Doesn't leave any marks. my car is a 2000 Buick LeSabre.

I love these shades! We just got back from a road trip. They're attached with suction which hold well, I slip my finger nail to break the suction. No fuss and no marks.

I agree with Scott C. and Kevin H. (previous responses). Be careful about the paint. And I got this because the finish on my original cracked and the paint was coming off. So I got the replacement. A few months later, merging onto a highway, the emblem came flying off. It didn't do any damage when it hit my windshield, and I was able to retrieve it. But I put the old one back on (I filled in the areas of missing paint with a sharpies, for the time being), and I've been driving around with that while I decide what to do. I really don't want to glue the new one back on. And the old one is hanging in there just fine. So, was it that the new emblem was inferior? I have to wonder. I agree with Scott C. and Kevin H.

Yes, you can take it off. On my car (2007 Camray) it takes a little maneuvering, but I have been able to get it off.

I haven't had to remove them, but I've had them for a year and they've really held up well! I'm pretty picky about my car, and I would have returned them if I didn't like how they looked. It was a good buy!

I didn't do it and it was fine. I traded in my car finally but it lasted for the entire year I had it on there and is probably still on it. The hardest part was cutting off the old one. The video is dishonest in regards to that. That step alone took over an hour.

It's not a bad idea to remove it to be on the safe side although I've left it on before without any problems. The two questions that I would ask are 1) is it a touchless car wash and 2) how well does the antenna "stick" to your roof. Touchless car wash should be fine although even a scrubber wash might be okay too, dependent upon how close/tight the scrubber works on the roof. The roof of a truck for example sits higher than a car so it might be more likely for the scrubber to remove the antenna. On my sedan I had no problem. As far as "stickiness", when I affix my antenna to the roof it makes a "ka-thunk" sound so I know it's really sticking down hard. If it's not sticking down hard for you then you might want to remove it for car washes.

I don't know, I'm sorry to say. I used the product on my car & didn't experience this problem. I would put the question to the company (or at least check and see whether their website has FAQs that are relevant). In your shoes, I'd probably try scrubbing the area gently with a toothbrush and some mineral spirits, just to see if anything might come loose. Sorry to hear of your troubles!

I took the care to have clean hands and a clean auto, took my time and it worked just fine. Should you decide to remove it, I'm pretty sure some wd40 or some denatured alcohol would cut the adhesive but I've not tried that since my results were good.

Hi Vanessa,Its very easy to remove it, as it have sticking agent at its boundary (not in the entire area of the glass ), its easy to remove and reapply it.Regards,Abhishek

Use Goof Off, will take it right off. Careful with that stuff, if you rub hard enough it will take paint off your car.

We've had ours on our 2013 Fit for almost a year and have never removed it for any reason. We've never had an issue with mildew or dampness at all. We even have our Fit washed at the local car wash with no problems. You may have to wipe around it sometimes and we also put Armor-All on it to keep it looking new.

I forgot to mention..it helps to remove the rear bumper.....but the rear bumper is only 10 bolts and the bumper itself is 100% plastic (pretty worthless), so taking it off and putting it back on is a non issue!

Most likely some damage will occur. The manufacturer states that on the instructions. Once it's on....it's pretty much permanent. Consulting a professional detailer on removal would be your best bet.

I would be happy if I were you. That window breaker thingy is completely useless, and has a tendency to scratch everything. I was thinking about removing it myself, but did not because I assumed it would be hard to. I'll give it a try now.
