Paint pulled off removing factory PPF

Higgy_CSL · 03-30-2023, 10:17 PM

Update? Since I have a dealer/ manufacturer point of view I am curious to how this turned out. I thought this was an uphill battle from the beginning but if a strong relationship with the dealer existed, maybe a solution could be reached.

See if the grills are PPFd and....

Couldn't resist.

Good luck OP.

They'll definitely deny warranty, that's considered outside influence by BMW TBH and another insider point of view. I agree that it sucks, but hopefully the dealer themselves will take care of you! Not trying to be negative, but like Higgy_CSL reported, they would not warranty this through a normal channel.

Sounds like it wasn’t heated up enough or at all or properly…can’t just rip off a room temp PPF

I just can’t see this happening with a factory BMW finish. Likely the car incurred damage enroute from Germany and repaired at the dealer or port? I’ve seen a couple stories reported of bodywork being completed on certain cars and the dealer not required to report it.

I agree ☝️. I believe the car was repaired at the dealer or port.

I always learn something new on here, but also start to worry about crap I had never worried about! I'm doing a full PPF and was going to remind the shop to remove factory PPF off the rear fenders and that's it. Now I'm wondering if he'll be insulted if I say "and I assume you'll heat this up before removing it, right?"

Yeah well these guys are actually owned by XPEL and the last two times I was there they had a new Ferrari and a new McLaren. And they have great reviews, so should be fine haha.
