Clear bra bubbling problems

Hello All,

I have a 2006 MC S with a clear bra on it that is about 2 years old. This past fall the film started bubbling and eventually a piece over the front air intake got caught by the wind and tore off. It looks bad and I'd like to remove it, or get it repaired. The dealer had a third-party vendor install it and it was supposedly under warranty, but so far I have had no luck in getting the installer to stand behind their product. Does anyone know how to remove the clear bra without damaging the paint? The attached pictures show what it looks like.

If you got 3M material, you should have a warranty card and/or a sticker on the inside of your driver's side door. You might pursue that angle...

Hey, you're right! I do have a sticker on the inside of my door. I never got a warranty card, but I do have a copy of the purchase order the dealer used to get the vendor and with this stiker, I may have a new argument. Thank you!

I wouldn't deal with the third-party vendor, if it was arranged through the dealer. I'd force the dealer to deal with it.

Your Dealer should also show some Honor and try and help you out with the Installer. However, the possibility is that the Dealer is NOT using this Installer any longer as well. I'd check it out.
Good Luck!!
