Never tried to take it off once it was on. I know it comes off while putting it on fiberglass.

If you remove it carefully, it doesn't hurt the paint. The adhesive can leave a residue behind, but some goof-off can resolve this.

You, probably, should never leave it on direct sunlight, especially in parking mode. Just disconnect and hide it - it will be much safer.

Good observation/question! Is the backing sharp? Does it have the potential to scratch the paint? The short answer to both questions is "Yes". But it really depends on how closely your license plate with the frame is to the body when secured with screws. On my Chevy Equinox, the frame was very close (1/16") at the top where the screws mount to the lift gate. At the bottom, the license frame to body clearance was approx. 3/8". I had the same concern as you, knowing that the frame could touch the paint if pushed on (as when washing), or even shutting the lift gate as the frame/plate could vibrate when stopping at the latch. To prevent any marks/scratches, I simply applied a length of 1/8" thick foam rubber weather strip at the top of the plate, and I used a length of 3/8" weather strip on the bottom of the plate. Outdoor use weather stripping is available at most hardware stores/home centers in a variety of thicknesses. The outdoor stripping is usually black or gray (indoor is typically white/ neutral). Get the type that has adhesive on one side. I applied the adhesive side to the BACK of the license plate at the top and bottom, parallel to each other, approx. 1/2" from the edge of the plate. All depending on how the plate mounts and what the clearances are at the top, bottom, and sides, you could put the weather stripping on just the sides, or even all the way around the back side of the plate. In any event, my license plate and frame cannot come in contact with the painted surface.

I think it might peel off paint. It has a pretty tacky/sticky/grippy adhesive. I'd go for removable vinyl instead. It would stay up for even a couple years and still come off well. The permanent is supposed to stay.

I didn't use it outdoor but I'm guessing if it's exposed to humid weather the glue probably won't last and it might start peeling very quickly.

The mount will come off of the windshield if you slip a sharp point knife VERY CAREFULLY into the adhesive and SLOWLY work the point in. Once the mount starts to come loose, peeling it off is easier. Clean up the sticky mess with 90% alcohol. To re-mount, I use the 3M outdoor double side tape. It's kinda dark gray with the red peel off backing.

It could certainly be removed and re-positioned during the initial install without an issue. It's water rather than adhesive that makes it adhere to the glass. As far as trying to take if off after it has set, I haven't tried that.

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

I used protective spray on mine before I took it outside and it's been outdoors all winter. I didn't cover it or anything and still looks great!!

The adhesive strips are very strong, but I think if you were able to get the top off, you could use Goo Gone to remove any remaining residue. Might take some elbow grease though too.

hi..to be honest with you, i did not peel the adhesive, its heavy enough and my dashboard is wide and kinda steep enough of a surface, it very rarely and slightly tips off, especially if you want to remove it for many different reasons, you better off just not to peel off the adhesive, but you really want to peel off the adhesive, remember, it will leave a mark after sometimes, its inevitable,

mine peeled off pretty easily, but depends on how long its stuck there maybe. I think mine left a bit of residue but it came off easily enough.

I haven't removed it, but it is not supposed to damage the original finish. I will probably not remove it unless it starts to peel loose. I don't know if that happens or not.

The adhesive IS for one time placement. You could probably get it off with some effort, but I doubt it would stick anywhere after that.

I have a Honda Accord 2007, dash is textured. From the time I placed it on the dash, I have not removed it once. So far, its sticking. My concern is if I take if off, I won't be able to place it on again. Since I purchased it when the weather was starting to cool down, I'm not sure how heat will affect it. But so far, I'm still very happy with the product. I use it daily due to my job.
