The following methods allow for perfect ETC removal without damaging the car film: 1. Use a hairdryer's hot air: Direct heat at the contact area between the OBU device and the windshield. The adhesive tape on the back of the device will soften when heated, reducing its stickiness. Gently twist and remove the OBU device by hand or use a plastic scraper to slowly pry it off. 2. Use a hot towel: Soak a towel in hot water and place it on the outside of the windshield to heat the adhesive tape on the back of the OBU device. Wait for the tape to soften before removing the device. 3. Utilize sunlight to heat the adhesive tape: On a hot, sunny day, park the car in an open area to expose the device to direct sunlight until it softens, then remove it. 4. Visit the ETC service center for professional assistance: Staff can spray some tar remover and use a plastic scraper to gradually remove the OBU device. Note: Once the OBU device is detached, the anti-tamper button on the back will pop up, rendering the ETC device label invalid. The owner must visit the service center to reactivate the ETC for continued normal use.
