The shop guy then said "I'll be glad to remove what is left of the original and place the new one, but I will see you again in two years". So he just gave it away. I am now in the process of removing my decals on another brand and when I'm done it will be white with ghost stripes. It will never stripped again!
From what I am reading here it seems like an ongoing problem that Montana doesn't seem to be addressing. After reading all of this, I would be inclined to remove the old one and replace one of my own. Montana adds the decal to advertise it's product. Mine would be an advertisment for Montana, but would not be exactly complimentary to Montana.
