hey, i am using macbook pro with M3 Pro.i applied spigem screen protector a few months back. I faced some issues in sunlight and bright light environment because it is not anti-glare so I want to remove it but I am not able to remove it easily.i am afraid to put some force into it in case I damage the screen. what should I do. please help.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.5
what should I do.
There is not much you can do at this point. Most screen "protectors" will damage important coatings on an Apple display. Removing them leaves a blotchy, non-reparable pattern on the screen that most people find beyond annoying.
The external screen on any Retina Macbook Pro made (Mid 2012 to present) cannot be separately replaced. That cover, the display itself, the outer shell, and the cabling are all one sealed unit. The only fix for a blotchy screen is an expensive new display assembly. And this is not something that your warranty covers.
Obviously, Spigen should have a safe removal process.
If that fails, or they can't recommend how to safely remove it, the cheapest display replacement costs (13-inch, parts and labor) I've see users post here are in the US$500-600 range. More for bigger screen sizes.
So your necessary conversation with Spigen and the seller of the cover will likely involve who pays for the repair or a new computer.

Do not use any liquids to remove the coating since the liquid will end up seeping around the edge of the glass causing permanent damage to the inside of the built-in display which will cost you a lot of money to replace. M-series Displays are extremely expensive....even more than the expensive Intel Mac Display Assemblies.
Window film applied to windows of a Van when doing a van conversion is generally removed by getting soapy water under a corner of the film, and waiting for it to propagate further under the film before the film can begin to be slowly and gently lifted and removed, without applying any force.
But yours is not over Uncoated Van Window glass. The risk for you is not so much breaking the display glass as removing the screen coating, wrecking the screen.
My recommendation is to not touch it at all.
