Pull off the RAPGARD film by hand only. No tools may be used. 

Begin by loosening the film at the corners.

Place the hands as close as possible to the body so that the film is lifted off parallel to the body (see the illustration).

This will minimize the quantity of adhesive remaining on the body.

The method shown in the crossed-out illustration is incorrect.

On large surfaces, such as the hood and roof, pull alternately from two corners until the film is loose.
