Poll: Hidden paint damage under windshield tape

I'm trying to figure out whether it's a good idea to remove my windshield tape. So I want to know what perecntage of those people who have removed the tape had imperfect paint underneath

You'll need a broader poll for this. Do a search and you may find the information you seek.

Also, I had minimal surface scratches but used some Fine Cut Rubbing Compound and took care of it.

REMOVE your tape. I had two spots that had fine scratches that looked like they had been sanded. A few minutes with the 3M Swirl Mark Remover and they were gone. No problem.

I took my tape off in about 5 minutes, no scratches or glue left on the windshield frame

I removed mine a couple months ago on my '02 and found two areas, the biggest being half dollar size, that are sanded down to very little paint. Definitely need some touch up work.
