I'm suspecting it was 2001-2004 at the newest. Some around engine compartment actually pulled of by hand. Also in three of the four fender wells. Left rear was never applied. Looks as good as the rest of the coach

Scott, you're removal process looks really good. Sure you don't want to leave a big ole spot of that stuff just to remind you of how much fun you had? I really don't think so......

Scott,
 
Are the darker areas in your first picture just the adhesive, or is it still part of the 3M Diamond Shield?
 
Thanks,

The first picture was incomplete. Just took it to show the difference. The diamond shield was dark with mold. Smelt bad too. Mildew odor at front of coach much less now. I would of never guessed I was coming from that stuff. Glue seems quite transparent but when pressure washing there was little black balls of glue and shield on the windshield. Pressure washed it off easily.
