Removing Vinyl wrap on the roof
Hi,
As parting out my vehicles back into stock to sell the car, I have wrapped the roof of the vehicle about three years ago or so. It was gloss black; but with the sun, it is now Matte black. I tried to take off the vinyl on a hot day, but it won't come off easy. when i pull it, it comes off and cracks pretty soon. Anyone have any tips on dealing with this? I am thinking about going to shop to take it off, but few of them declined the service when i even gave them a call. If anyone knows a shop that can take off the wrap without making a major scratch; please let me know! Thank you, P.S. Check out the other post about E92 328's Performance Exhaust and Rims for sale! |

Park it in the hot sun then use a pressure washer. The heat should release the glue some and the pressure washer should be powerful enough to go underneath it. Just dont use more than a 45 degree angle fitting and the car wash setting if it's a gas washer.
Other than that a heat gun and a plastic scraper is your next best bet but expect to polish it from scratches afterwards. |

That stuff is a pain in the ass to take off. It took me about 4 hours to take mines off. I need a detail on the roof to get the old glue off too. I parked it outside in the sun and worked on it like that.. Got a hell of a farmers tan. use sunscreen lol
