Its a film and its solid to peel off. I think i peeled like an inch off the top and it took ages

take a hair dryer to it, heat it up and it should peel off nicely.

Hairdryer as said is best then any residue use an old club card followed by hot soapy water.Too finish off dry off and use something like windowlene.
