How do you get the thin plastic film off from the solar area as instructed? Was not able to get this off.

Sorry, can't help. They did not fit our posts so did not remove the plastic and returned them.

It should just pull off from one of the corners. All of mine did, so I don't know. Maybe try dampening it?

There is no adhesive backing the film. Cut to size, wet it and stick it to the glass, use a squeegee or a wet finger to get out any air bubbles. You can pull it off easily if you have to readjust it. I have it on an outdoor light and it hasn't come off yet. I use it because bugs aren't attracted to yellow light.

I haven't tried to remove it but it appears to be that 3M double-sided tape with a magnetic strip on one side. In the past, when I've removed this kind of tape, i've had to use Goo-Gone or a similar adhesive remove to get everything off but I can't speak to this specifically.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

In the instructions it tells you how to remove a peice of plastic that shields the sensor from turning on the light. Remove this thin film of plastic, keep out in the sun, and at night they come on

Yes remove the plastic one first by peeling it off starting at a corner. It should peel off very easily. Then follow the screen cleaning/preparation and installation instructions that come with the new screen protector. If you have any more ?'s I will be happy to help as much as I can.

You kind of have to pry it off gently. The plastic gives if you pull on it a little, so all you have to do is pull it far enough where you can pull it off.

I got it off an there is nothing behind the panel that requires it to be removed. It was super hard to remove too. It was a while ago but i remember being disappointed.

I find it simple to remove and install it. With the panels off you still get some sun, you're just not baking in it. To remove it I would just un clip the front and sides but keep the back loops on (those are the hardest if the rear hard top pannel is on. You can just roll it up and secure it on the roll bar and you'll have sun.

If the entire sheet is in among the rollers you will need professional help to get it out. When I had part of a insulating sleeve partially caught in it I took off the upper heat shield over the rollers and ran it in reverse and used a very dull butter knife to dig/pry it out. Ideally I would not recommend this as there is a possibility of damaging the rollers and or being electrocuted (the knife I used was all metal without a insulating handle). I was lucky to get it all out otherwise I would have had to replace the laminator (Like too many things these days that would have been cheaper than paying to fix it).

I just spoke with a tech at 3M and they said the best way they have found is to apply a thicker coat over what you have and once it's dried for at least 24 hrs, peel it off and it should pull the layer underneath as well. Just make sure if you've waxed over the top of the film, you'll need to use something to strip the wax or it won't adhere to it. The second method is to soak it in ammonia based window cleaner for at least 15 minutes and then use a car sponge to scrub it off.

I would use windex or glass cleaner or a liquid cleaner that won't melt plastic! Obviously, a scrubbing pad and powders like Comet or Ajax, etc. won't work.

No, I don't see any way the see through plastic can be be removed. Hope the answer helps.

I seem to remember removing a small thin clear plastic strip that has to be pulled out from the light before the battery can make contact.

Pop the clear/amber plastic face piece off and just pull the phone out of the charger... Hope this helps..

YOU removed window tint plastic from glass?? I believe this is what you are saying. If so, I would use GooGone to remove the residue and then use Invisible Glass to shine the glass.

after you remove the screws on the right hand side, you made need a flat head to pry the plastic apart, just go easy and maybe cover screwdriver with a piece of electrical tape.
