MCU 2 screen came with a plastic cover?

[Vinc]

Hi! I got my MCU upgraded and I have just noticed that the screen has a clear plastic cover. I assume that needs to be removed, but I have not seen of anybody having to do so. Also, it seems to go under the edges, so I am afraid of messing up things if I just pull.

Has anybody found the same thing? Should I go back to the service center? Or just leave it in place (free screen protection!)…

Just a quick update for future generations. I followed up with the service center and they suggested sending a ranger to remove the plastic. Probably an overkill, I feel bad with so many people out there waiting for service, but it looks like I could break things if I do it myself...

Yes, you will want it removed. It will cause distortion.

They probably want to send a ranger just to be sure it really is film before they provide instructions to remove. Just in case.

Yeah, it is tricky. It seems clear that there is a plastic there, but the edges are under the trim. I would have to do some probing with a toothpick or something like that to peel it off. It does not look terrible as is, but I assume with time it will start yellowing and the adhesive might also stain the screen.
What a silly issue to have
