    Quoted from mrm_4:

    A few of us had to weather this storm. In short the company that produced the ink for the hardtops took the chemical out that makes it bond to the plastic without telling OE and there was a run that a few unlucky people got.
    Call Outside Edge let Bruce know you got one of the bad ones.

    How bad was removing the hard top?

    Quoted from mrm_4:

    It wasn’t that bad to be honest other than the frustration of having to do it. I documented the whole thing in that thread I linked. Use a heat gun and find the sweet spot where it gets hot enough to lift the adhesive but not too hot that the art stays behind. Then goo gone the remaining adhesive away.

    Ah thanks! Ya was curious as the 3m tape isn’t permanent but there’s tricks to making it come up
