Well mine is a Cdn car and lived all its life up here. The stone guards were so on there I eventually scratched the paint and had to repaint one Q panel.

I tried most everything, heat (at one point had a 100,00 btu heater aimed at it!!), chemicals, praying....it was a bitch and ultimately cost me about $450. And I still haven't put the new guards on....

I don't think were the car is has anything to do with it

If anyone wants a pair of these stone guards for a C2S or C4S, I recently purchased a pair from FB that I will let go for $100 including cost of shipping anywhere in continental US. They're still in the original sealed package from FB.

How did you clean up the line of crud left at the edge of the stone guard?

I found found using a modified scraper (credit card edge sanded smooth etc) still left micro scratches. So I applied Goo Gone, heated with a hair dryer and then wiped with a microfibre wrapped around my finger. Probably took longer, but no scratches.
The point about car location versus ease of removal - I am not sure about - mine has always been a MI car and they were a pain. The point about finding the ideal temp (heat gun) makes total sense and maybe if I'd used a heatgun, rather than a hairdryer, things would have been easier. But I was a wimp, worrying about paint temps....

My crud wasn't all that hard to clean off. I didn't need to use a scraper of any sort, I just used goo gone with a micorfiber towel to clean that area up. Then lastly I used a de-greaser like Simple Green to make sure there was nothing left on the paint that would prevent the new guards from adhering properly.

I just took mine of, been on there for 18 years. Used a little plastic potty knife from home depot. First removed the stone guard and then the glue with goo gone and the potty knife. Waiting for some new stone guards from FD.
