I know that it's bad to leave it on wet for fear of damaging the paint, so if it starts raining do I have time to take it off, or do I need to rush out of class to peel it off.

Actually, sitting in the rain is probably the least damaging time for a car bra. Rain can't hurt your paint. What causes a bra to damage the paint is when it scrubs at the clearcoat while driving, especially when it is dirty. Rain could cause dirt to get beneath the bra, though, which would worsen that.

Yep, Minister's right. Regardless to if it gets wet or not, you should take it off regularly and clean it and the areas that it covers. Let the car and bra dry then put them back on. You shouldn't have any problems then.

I only put mine on if i'm going on a road trip.I leave it on once inawhile for the most=2 weeks and clean it.even then its pretty risky!in my accord i left it on for a whole year and it actually worked opposite,my paint/clearcoat looked better under the bra then the rest of the car???Soooi would not leave it on all the time and clean it every other week at least!
