How do you remove these?

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

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.

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.

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

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...
