Wouldn't there be a warrantee problem were it removed? The tape says
'do not remove', it is removed, the roof fails, the manufacturer says
'not installed per spec'.

Harry,

Technically, when the product specifies "do not remove", I would say yes.
But, I never ran across a scenario where the manufacturer was involved in
such a instance. Most of the roofs I'd seen, where the release tape was
removed, and considerable covering was literally peeled and rolled, the
insurance companies were involved to cover the damage.
