I noticed the the door button on the back right had some weird sticky gunk on it and tried to clean it. It wouldn't come off with windex so I grabbed a razor to scrape it off the glass only to find I easily scratched it. Then it started to peel off. I checked the other glass pillars and all were in fact bare glass so I went ahead and peeled off all the plastic. It was partially tucked under the plastic trim and was holding onto a lot of gunk. Anyone else have any leftover peels like this?

Only the mirror and the screens for me. Funny story, I updated my model S to HW3. And in doing so, they had to replace all screen including the cluster. A couple of days later noticed a ton of smudges on the cluster. Scheduled service, nectar it wouldn’t clean, thought they got it messed up being the glass. Turns out it was the protective plastic left on. He offered a time to come in and pull it off, “unless I was ok trying it myself”.?
It was tricky because the edges of the screen were behind the trim.

Guess this more common than I thought. Weird that they manage to leave just one on multiple trucks.

Isn't it fun to remove it?

Yes, I want to be the one to remove them on my brand new car but my local SC always removes everything including the touchscreen protector before delivery. So annoying.
