Removing GoPro base plates.

[ropey]

Hello,

For any one that is interested if you have GoPro base plates on your helmet or bike & want to remove them & not your paint I have a simple solution.

All that is required is 1meter of fishing line (basic monofilament) double it over & push it as under one corner of the sticky pad with your finger then just use a sawing motion, the fishing line will find it easier to go under than go through the foam & it comes off clean & easy.

I have a black AGV helmet & can't see a single mark from the removal.

Hope this helps anyone that's needs to do this.

Cheers

Yep your right, quick preheat will help my lid had been in the sun all day before I removed the base plate.

Thanks. Ive been pondering about it if the time comes to remove it, i also thought about heating it up, but the fishing line trick (+ some heat) should do the trick nicely.
