window guard removal

I have one on the drivers side only. It seems to have left a mark on the passenger side when that was removed.

 

I'll be taking mine off because I keep catching it when squeezing out of the car, it's comes away at one end and catches on the roof leaving marks.

think they are aftermarket though stamped toyota.....also the rear window has a big one....anyone removed these

 

I have from mine and they do leave a few marks. Had two marks on the boot lid sides where the clamps were holding it on. It was very tight and underneath was down to the metal and looked bad (needed a spray). Also the longer edge at the top is held on with sticky pads (feel welded on though) and this took some getting off the paintwork after removing the spoiler. Needed to use some autoglym glue and tar remover and a hair dryer. Also left square marks where the pad had been (visible as paint was two different colours) so just had this sprayed in at the same time as the sides. Moral is I would only remove it if your prepared the have the damage/marks sprayed out again :)

 

Looks much better without it though!!

Mine did, but simply because of the fact it came off really easy one side, and was 'welded' with the sticky pads on the other. If I had used a hair dryer and heated the pads and slowly removed it wouldn't have, but me being impatient just tried to prise it off!! :(
