I scratched and tore my gear tunnel PPF with my bicycle pedal. Can it be repaired with a heat gun or should I just plan to remove it?

Somehow I bet those dogs were to blame for this.

My gear tunnel PPF is long gone, in fact I lost both sides and a piece of the lower plastic trim on the same trail..... ?‍♂

Just rip it off and be done with it, assuming you don't have full PPF, if so then go have your installer recut that piece.

Remove and replace, if you're doing it yourself be sure to use a fair amount of heat as to help release the adhesive from the paint and not leave a ton behind. =)

Have it taken off and replace the film for sure.
