How do you remove these? |

Just pull them off gently and the backing should stay on the reflector. They are held on with adhesive. Mike |

True dat - use a hair dryer to slowly and gently warm them. Once you get an edge up, aim the hot air at the adhesive, it will speed up release. Z |

If you twist them instead of trying to pry them off, they will pop off real easy. |

I wouldn't worry about the adhesive to much, you can buy a new double sided adhesive pad from 3M if you need to re-apply them. I took the ones off my 11 and the woman's scg with a string to lift the edge and then a couple of side to side twists. Good luck! |

It was >100 degrees at the track and I just put a big flat blade screwdriver behind it, gave it a twist they came right off with no damage. |

WD-40 will remove any residual stickiness. |

Isn't WD-40 amazing? I put it on my waffles too! |

When I first met my wife, she smelled of gasoline and WD-40. Love at first sight/smell. I'm a gearhead. Z |

I find it amazing that a thread about reflectors has reached a dozen posts. I think we all need help! |

I'm with you Spectrum Let's all "reflect" on how that could happen. I know, I'm not right... |
