Put it this way, my one of these:
was fitted with what later turned out to be numberplate sticky pads on top of the vinyl! I'm glad they leaned to take the pillars off a 350 for the roof, as when they did mine I found out they used a scalpul to cut down the edge of the rubber on the pillar and into the paint, leaving with a wonky edge. They also split the vinyl in the middle and used a marker pen to cover the hole, it was only small, maybe 2mm by 2mm, but it's not the point.
