The length of time it lasts depends on the weather conditions that it is subjected to. My motorhome is a 2004 and spend a lot of time in Florida. The 3M clear shield did not make it for 10 years, probably due to the UV exposure. It was terrible to take off, some of the paint came off with it, and I will never put it on again.

Once I start stripping it off I might change my mind but for now I think I'll have the clear shield reapplyed. The rock chips really worry me. I store the motorhome inside when we're not using it and that should help the clear shield last longer. Hopefully I wouldn't have to every replace it again.

I removed mine and didn't have much problem with rock chips until I went to the desert southwest. It now looks like the front of my coach was hit with a shotgun shell of rock salt. If I repaint, I'll likely recover with Diamond Shield.

I recommend to try and get your Clear Bra off before the material looses it's flexibility. Once it becomes brittle, you'll will be facing hundreds of tiny pieces during the removal. I experienced a nightmare trying to remove mine. Maybe because my coach spent a lot of time in sunlight and high humidity areas, I dunno, but my Clear Bra started cracking and crazing in about 4 years. Then came the mold in the tiny cracks. My bra was left on way too long, because I tried to get it off, starting about 5 years after it was installed (installed 2004) when it started cracking. Labor intensive! So over the years I would try working on it a little bit at a time. Very frustrating. But ... Thanks Diplomat Dan! Dan's advice, from a previous older post on irv2.com of "Problems with 3m bra." Finally ended my Clear Bra Removal Nightmare, by using a 3000psi Water Pressure Washer. Viewable video at:



Thanks again Dan! A word of caution: Heat and especially steam moisture both seem to reactivate the adhesive and I found even the water from the Pressure Washer stream reactivated the adhesive on the "Blown away pieces" of my former Clear Bra, because whenever those chip pieces landed, they stuck to it. So keep other cars far away from where you are using the Water Pressure Washer, or you'll end up getting Bra chips off them too!
