    I’m curious if anyone has experience removing aftermarket shields. My 456 has a set on it that while they are nice quality I’d like to get them off. I have a few ideas, but would love to hear of anyone else’s experience. Thanks, Doug R

    No real experience, but the consensus has been to use dental floss and heat.

    + add a little patience and a set of gloves...speaking from personal experience.

    Some types of dental floss break too easily. I have found that braided fishing line works best (along with gentle heat).
