my pod is a 09 174 with the ring graphics. I got the new graphics the green and yellow ones and i am going to change them out. the ones on the front and back came off easy. The sun baked them and they were curling up. The ones on the side are still stuck tight. any help on how to get them off. I guess a heat gun would be the best way. I don't want to use a eraser wheel on the shell. thanks |

I doubt your front and rear graphics curled from heat. I went through two rounds of graphics on the front and rear which chipped and peeled from what I believe was snow and ice sliding down the curve from the roof. The second set were fine were fine when I put the pod to bed for the winter and by early spring I saw the same peeling which is why I'm sure it was ice and not heat.

It should have had them. Look carefully at different angles to see where they might have been. At just the right light angle I can still see where mine were. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
