Once removed get some 3M adhesive remover to take off glue residue. I just had to replace the tape on my blackout panel last week. Once removed,I cleaned the car with the 3M stuff and reapplied tape to panel. My panel lasted about 5-6 months before the tape started to lose its grip.

Sorry, forgot I posted this question. I was able to remove it simply by apply a little pull starting at one end and working my way to the other without damaging or warping the panel at all. It might have helped that it baked in the sun all day prior to attempting. I've decided to keep the panel should I get a hair up my tail and want to install it again.

Thanks for all of the feedback.

Sheesh!!! I just installedmy CDC blackout panel and WAS very un-trusting of this 3M tape. Lots of good advice, but im starting to believe that this might be 3M SUPERTAPE!! Alot more trustimg that my hard earned money will not fall off the back of the car!!

You will not have any issue with it falling off or coming loose if you prepped the surface as directed. The 3M tape is very strong. It took quite a bit of force to pull it off, I just did a little at a time and was "gentle" about it. It's not gonna come off unless you remove it yourself.
