3M does provide some removal tips though.

basically, after 4 years in the sun on a roof, its just going to peel off in small pieces. it'll be more brittle than when you installed it, so it sorta "chips"
the residue left behind is only on the clear coat, so solvents or even a professional buffing will remove it.

however- i have seen cheap repaints peel up.
