Never had an issue... I just always start where I cut the lexan... kind of starts rolling up on its on at that point. Then peeling the whole thing off is normally 1 peice, or a few large peices. I have had to use my thumb nail to scrape it to get it to come up a little.

put a piece of tape on the outside of the body near an edge, and then pull.
