Not a chance. It has to be pulled.

Nope. But it's easy to pull and it's a good time to check your boots too.

I pulled the foil off mine this last winter, I haven't cleaned the adhesive off yet, what did you guy's use to get it cleaned up? Seems like what ever they use could hold elephants over the grand canyon LOL.

A good strong paint stripper from Home Depot did the trick for me.

I used some gasket remover that I had lying around and a plastic trawl. It did the trick for me.

I removed mine outside on the porch steps (plenty of ventilation) with a wire brush and a can of gasoline. Gas will take it right off.

I used lacquer thinner and took all of 5 minutes to get off 90%. The other 10% to another 30 minutes...
