Tips for removing 3m vinyl from roof

Time to take the vinyl off, it's been three years and it's showing its age. Any tips for removing it?

Should be able to just park it in the sun during a warm day, then start peeling it away.

Or use a hair dryer / heat gun and work on an edge and start peeling

Without a doubt, steam is your best friend with removing it.

Palm sander and some 80 grit
