Coach Armor --- to Jim 10996

It is not easy to replace Coach Armor with 3M.
First the armor has to be removed, then the stand off (s), then the velcro. The holes have to be filled and strengthened from behind in case there are any cracks or chips. Next, the front of the coach has to be painted. After a minimum of two weeks for the paint to dry the 3M can be applied. The work should probably be done by coach experienced body shop workers.
Is it worth it? If you have problems, yes. If your armor is in good shape wait until you need to replace it. That will probably happen one of these days. I am very careful with my 2003 coach and have never put a scratch on it. I was extra protective of my Coach Armor knowing that it could not be replaced. It took a hit and run artist to cause all of my problems.
I just could not see beating a dead horse (Coach Armor), especially when no replacement parts are available.
The reponsible in my case evidently lives in or near Longbeach, Washington. We have not been able to pin him down yet.

Thank you for the reply. My armor is still in perfect condition, and literally looks new, even for 5 years old. I was looking for idea's, in case anything happened to it, it's just a matter of time. Still kind of a pain in the a$$ to clean behind it though...
