    Towards the end of their install instructions they say;
    To remove the product, heat up the film on the vehicle to make it more pliable. Then using a very soft plastic, or even a fingernail, pry off the edge of the navigation screen. You can attempt to save the film if you'd like. If so, spray the back of the film as you remove it to help it come off easier. For the instrument cluster, use your soft plastic or fingernail to tear a bit of the film, then peel it off. Since this film does typically tuck under the bezel, it will be hard to pry off an edge. Tearing the film will be necessary to peel off.

    Haven't tried it myself. Bubbles did take longer to dissipate on mine, but I put it on at 70 degrees and then it was 50-60 for the next month. Good luck.

    I just installed the Protech screen protectors and it actually makes my radio display (and cameras) a lot clearer. Kind of amazing.
    Highly recommend these screen protectors.
