If the car has more than 50,000 miles, you are more-than-likely past the point where you would have to worry about an IMS failure. Near as I can tell in my research, nearly all IMS disasters happened...

If you cannot get a hold of an "eraser style" vinyl remover, it's almost easier to heat the vinyl with a heat gun (on low setting) and just peel it off...usually leaves no residue. :)

Second best is plain old Naptha paint thinner. About $3 a quart.

I rigged-up my spoiler to dump three pounds of 1" roofing nails onto the road at the push of a button. Maybe you need to do the same. BTW, Objects in mirror are actually closer than they appear.
