The Paradox of Clear Bras

[CycloSteve]

Both a blessing and a curse. Definitely the original dealer installed clear bra did it's job, the PO's did not do theirs in replacing it every few years. The paint under is near perfect, yet the deeply cracked parts with the most sun exposure come off one tiny bit at a time. Will post a few more pics once it is all done and polished out.

Front bumper = blessing and came off in very large pieces

Edges of hood = curse as coming off in tiny, tiny pieces, even when using mild heat or steam...and man, it hurts the fingers after a while

One step closer - all of the Clear Bra removed. Bumpers and fenders have been fully cleaned, just need to do the same for the residue on the hood.

Project done. A few days of slowly peeling, removing adhesive residue and hand polishing. Still a faint line on the hood, but 1000% better than the nasty cracked "clear" bra.
