Clear plastic tape on sedan front bumper bottom

After owning my sedan for a year, the piece of clear plastic covering-tape that is on the bottom part of the front bumper (non-body-kit) is starting to peel. Anyone else having this problem, from the winters/scraping/washing? Anyone done anything to replace it? Or should I just rip it off and start armour-alling more frequently?

Mine came off the 2nd week thanks to a cement curb that was too high.
No evidence it was ever there. I think it is meant to be removed after delivery of vehicle.

I had the same problem. Ended up just removing the piece outright. I actually scrapped the bottom of it on a parking curb about two weeks after picking up the car.
I apply some protectant to it every other washing time.

LOL...
That plastic is just for shipping protection.
Most of the dealers just don't take it off during prep.

Yeah, you are right, mine didn't have anything like that on it.
