Even though the 3M VHB tape is extremely strong, it can still be removed without damaging the surface below. The dash phone holder can be removed by using dental floss or fishing line underneath the mount to partially break the adhesive-free and get it started. Once a small area is broken free, you can peel the mount off of the surface at an angle. Do not pull straight out, peel at an angle and the mount will come off with the adhesive. If a small amount of adhesive is left over on the surface, you can peel it off with your fingernail and then wipe the surface clean with an alcohol wipe.
