I was rounding a corner with my 24' enclosed ATC to park it at the Marshall Manor in Horseheads. It looked like I had clearance on the side but there was a gutter I didn't see which stuck out. Put a nice 1 foot gouge in the side (luckily it didn't punch through). Lesson learned: Remain ultra vigilant when towing and don't assume you have clearance, best to get out and check.

Not sure what the best repair method would be, will post pics tomorrow.

Easiest thing to do is to try and get a thin sharp blade in and cut the tape bonding the sheets together. Short of that, heat is the next best thing. The sheet will be bonded to the two posts in the middle as well but once you break the ends free you can pretty easily bend it back and cut the tape.

Here's 3M's info sheet on removing VHB tape:
