It is the beginning of the end for the film. It will only get worse over time.
Removal is a lot of work. Many procedures have been described on this forum and others. I removed mine this past fall while at Myrtle Beach, working on it when the sun was shining on the front of the coach. I used plastic razor blades to raise and edge then slowly pulled it off in sheets. The adhesive is a bear. I soaked it with mineral spirits, scraped it off, repeat. Once I got all I could get off with the mineral spirits, I wiped it with lacquer thinner to remove the rest. Waxed the paint and it was pristine.
I spend several hours every day for about 5 days to get the stuff off.
