Red-dot Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) A heat gun then a wipe over with thinners or petrol? Some roofs have a crack between the front and rear seams. Might be the reason for wrapping? Edited August 30, 2017 by Red-dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I see in the photos you still have the Disco are you keeping it I thought the new Defender was its replacement I assume your Mrs has got a little runabout they tend to like small cars better for parking in town when shopping. GRRRRRR. You can get more shopping in a Defender and a pack of muddy dogs too. Not at the same time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 i like it, im just wondering what it would look like without it, i change my mind daily I was just looking on youtube and one of the videos that they marked that I may like to look at re the removing of plastic from cars is this using hot water instead of hot air worth a look I thought.

R1nut Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just go steady if you are going to do it.The last owner of mine left bird **** on the roof which caused a tiny amount of lacquer to go porous, moisture got in and under the paint. I was up there cleaning it and noticed it was sweating. Tiny drops of water were oozing through the paint when pressed!It required a bare metal respray because the ally had pickled!!Since this I have seen loads that have the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1nut Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 now im thinking of not taking it off think ill give it a while before i make my mind up, its not like i dont like it Get a set of steps out, climb up and take a good look. You will see or feel any problems through the wrap! Any problems will be pretty obvious. I didn't intend on frightening or putting you off, just kind of preparing you if the worst happens!!
