Default This paint wrap near the windshield is peeling and buzzing at 70mph
Anyone else have this issue? Behind it seems to be a brushed aluminum sort of panels. I found it peeling after I heard it buzzing at 70mph.

Any idea how to correct this? The wrap is not sticky anymore

Super glue? This is a very common issue

Peel it off completely and go with the steel look.. or peel it off and wrap it!

Have you peeled it off? Will I have issues with rust after wards on the metal?

Peel it off, then have a shop paint it. That's what I'd do. Shouldn't cost TOO much.

That's what I did. Cost me under 200 bucks at the dealer. Would probably cost less elsewhere.
