do you just want to take it out to fit the POLO decal, coz i got one and i didnt take it out! dont really need to.
just make sure its dry and clean and fit it while its still on car! they look great lol, polopowah is a legend for introducing us to them!!!

If you're careful enough, you can sometimes pop the bubble with a fine needle and smooth it out with your finger
