just spripping my mini to the shell, But the last thing on is the vinle roof cover thing, i want it in one peice so i can put it back on but it feels like its going to ripo when i try pulling it form the corner. It Kinda feels like thick dry paper . Any tips on getting it off in one peice ?

just be careful, dont rush it.

you could soak it in water and washing up liquid but it will lose some stickiness once removed and attract dirt dust grime. you will also need to be really careful in peeling off as it can stress the vinyl and give it a "rippled" effect and this will look poo!

do you reckon on wallpaper steamer thing would work?

[wolfys_mini]

i really would suggest, tearing it off and buying a new one, if you get it off in one piece, its not easy to get it back on in one piece.

If i do rip it where can i buy one

[wolfys_mini]

[mighty mini jack]

No, the vinle roof cover on the specials

[wolfys_mini]

havent a clue where you can buy a new one from, or the best way to get it off.
