    Good question. I'm honestly not sure. Worst case scenario is it starts to come loose and you have to find some new 3M adhesive strips to re-apply it.

    I got my Prius V last night! And I can see how valuable this is to protect the bumper from my dogs jumping up on the cargo area. Is it very easy to install? No hardwear required, I hope?

    I'm pretty sure it is just stuck on with strong double sided tape. W

    I installed mine right over the existing clear appliqué...no problem, just clean the bumper thoroughly before installing, you knew that.

    I applied two of these from my local Walmart when I first got my 08 Prius. Whith a little trimming they fit nicely. I'll be doing the same with the new "V" we just picked up yesterday. I have to admit at first I thought it wouldn't look professional or even might look a bit funky, but they have stayed on very well and have protected the bumper from the nails on my two goldens for years now. This is the best bumper protection I could imagine...especially for the price!
