How difficult is it to remove/replace, and does it leave sticky gunk behind?

To remove it you would need like a hairdryer or something to kind of warm it up pretty good and then once you get a corner up it'll peel off an any little bit of sticky residue left over just get a little bottle of goo gone and it will take it right off... that grip tape works and feels really good I've put it on all my guns...!

I have no trouble peeling/twisting the lock off with my fingers when it needs to be replaced. Using an adhesive remover may help this process, and removes any residue as well. The only reason my lock has needed to be replaced is from the occasional adult not realizing the lock is there and jerking the door open, which will break the lock. This is why it is a good idea to get at least one as a spare.

I removed mine to replace them with a screw mount lock and it took a little bit of work but it surprising came off well without residue.

It has an adhesive substance on the reverse side. It was no problem. The problem was removing the adhesive left by the old one. That took WD-40, Goo Gone and a heck of a lot of elbow grease. I would guess if the new one is applied with old patches of adhesive debris, it probably would not stay in place. Hope this answered your question.

Hi Janice, the glass has adhesive tape on the back. It wasn't difficult to change out. I used a hair dryer to get the old glass off. Be Sure to take the old glass off someplace where you can capture all the shards, I'm still finding glass splinters months later. Any ways take your time and good luck! Benjamin

I have not had any problems cleaning the gasket, but a bit of attention must be paid to it. The advantage of its existence outweighs any difficulty.

I had no issues with removing it, normally will use a wipe and clear up any left over residue which is minimal.

Use uni solve adhesive remover wipes. You can order it from Amazon. Works great!

Your gonna have to use pipe pliers to get it off. Be sure to clean the gun thoroughly before using it. For whatever reason these monkeys put some sort of glue on the threads of everything and it sucks. Use lacquer thinner it's the only thing that worked for me I soaked the gun and ask the parts in it for a few hours and scribes the crap out of it. Works pretty good once cleaned properly

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.

Try lighter fluid (like Zippo, aka naphtha). This removes all kinds of sticky glue residue.

I used a putty knife to scrape it off. It comes off pretty easy. It stays in a guey state all the time and never gets hard.

Yeah. Same here. It wasn't too bad. Wiped right off. Good luck putting it together. I never did get mine together. It was hard and I gave up.

I haven't cleaned it yet, but I can't imagine it would be difficult. I've had it for a month and it still looks quite pristine.

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.

Not hard to remove at all. If you are having a problem with removing some, spray with some vinegar and water. That will cut the sticky glue.I have tried other slip treads and they came off in 2 days. These work. They have stead on for almost a year. Just follow the instructions. Make sure the tub is completely dry. Put on and let it sit over night before water touches it.

I peeled mine off, definitely took a little work and some mild solvent to get all the residue off
