    New member here with a 2015 Prius C one! Has anyone removed and replaced the clear plastic film protectors near the rear wheels (pic attached)? How did you do it—I'm guessing with a heat gun? I managed to damage one of mine and am thinking it could be a DIY project, but haven't found any instructions online. I'm a newbie to car care and don't want to mess it up. Thanks in advance for any tips you can offer!

    Yes, you would need a heat gun. A body shop should be able to assist with that. I wouldn't attempt this if you have not done it before
