Does anyone know how to remove one of these? Ours has stayed on strong for over 2 years, but now I would like to remove it.

I was told by the company years ago and they recommended that you fill your tub with hot water and let it set for a little while and then it will peel off while under the hot water. You may need to wear rubber gloves so as not to burn your hands.

Yes, but it's a chore. Use a straight edge razor ... Carefully loosen two SMALL sections of opposing corners ... Careful not to scratch the tub ... Once you have a small section up ... Loosen as much as possible ... spray at the glue with windex (anything with alcohol) and keep working it ... use a plastic spackle knife and keep at it ...

Yes. GatorGrip is designed to securely attach to the bottom of your tub, but can be removed. Unlike suction cup design bathtub mats, there is no reason to remove GatorGrip to clean underneath. Once it has been pulled up, we do not recommend that GatorGrip be re-attached to the bottom of your tub. This will compromise the integrity of the peel and stick adhesive.

It's really a great bath mat but, it's a pain to get off!I took out the mat and sprayed "Goo be gone" (or anything like that) and let it set for a while.Then I sprayed it all off. Then I took a plastic pan scraper to and tough areas. (It really wasn't too bad) Last, I cleaned it with Clorox Clean Up. It came out nice.

The same thing happened to us. When I had a plumber here for other work, I asked him if he could try to get it off. No luck. I guess it's best not to leave it on your hose for too long or else it will become a permanent attachment.

ive taken mine off with no problems... up to you but just pull a little harder.. or use something thin like a metal nail file and slide it underneath

I've never tried to remove mine cus I love it so much, but the instructions suggest u use rubbing alcohol on it and it should come off easily. Hope that helps

It's not that easy. I just tried to remove it for the first time and took me about 2 min. Best way seems to pry it off from the top down.

Hi Pam, I bought mine because of the long handle so I never tried to remove it. I just looked at it and can tell you it is fairly easy to remove but it does take a little strength in the fingers. Those blue oblong buttons on the side down by the handle, press both sides in at the same time and that will release the handle. It easily snaps back on when your done. Have a great weekend.

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

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.

You need to grind off the little pin on the retaining pin to remove it. Unfortunately it's a permanent solution.

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.

I installed mine over a year ago but I believe there is either a screw on the bottom or one on either side. Whichever it is, mine hasn't come off yet.

I don't know if it's can be removed but I would check with the person you are having install it. It is wonderful, I love mine and it's well worth the price.

I found it difficult to remove also. It can be removed. I believe it is with the use of the little silver button.

We contacted Rust O Leum too and we didn't get a response. I have no idea to remove it, wish I could be of help. We are very disappointed with the product!

You'll have to gently twist and pull. It should come off fairly easily. It may take some wiggling back and forth, but then you should be able to twist it off.

It happened to me too. I used an old credit card (or something similar that won't scratch your windshield) to gently take it off. There was a black rubber circle on the windshield. I took my car to a glass repair shop and they took it off easily. The suction mount was slightly damaged, but it still attaches to the windshield (although the grip feels weaker).
