Default Convertible deck lid HT protector?

For my '69, the STATIC CLING model. Good, bad? Car was painted last year, the plastic won't pull the paint off, will it? I've already bought it but haven't put it on till you guys give me the ok.

If you leave your top up for long periods of time I think it helps, but if you are like me and the top goes up and down a lot , it's tends to be a lot of trouble .

I used those for my hardtop but not my soft top. I use my soft top alot and it rubbed the paint a little but cleans up when I wash and wax it. Just use them with the tops and remove them when not in use. I put them on dry. I saw someone her wet the surface and put them on like decals, not sure how it's working for them.

Right now it'll be for just the hardtop which will be for a while. My soft top needs a redo and it's not a priority. My concern is because of the fairly new paint. Thanks all for the replies.
