Quick fire wraps were installed in November and I do love them however occasionally they catch a rear wiper. Most end up along the driver's side wall or underneath the wraps so I'm figuring the driver's side wrap is the main culprit. How do you screen them for pre-existing damage? Bags or tape? Every wiper or just the usual suspects (and which are the usual suspects)? BMW crossovers pop off but it looks like they pop back on.

Tape - All if having an issue.

We went to an auto parts store and asked them for green body tape. Said if we buy 80 rolls can we get them for $2.50 a roll? Instead of $6.00
They said yes, so it's not such a great expense plus we feel a small piece of tape saves $50 - $100 wiper arm.

we use standard 1" masking tape from Home Depot.
Do you all have someone who removes the tape as the vehicle is exiting the tunnel? If not, have you had any customers ever complain after leaving the tape on for weeks about the residue that is left on the paint of the vehicle? We used tape at one point but switched over to plastic cover bags because of this issue.

Standard masking tape seems to lose much of it's integrity after going thru the wash process. No residue issues.
