Default removing mylars at every annual?

How are I.A.s dealing with inspecting around mylars, are they removing these spendy items every year. If not, what are the control surface hinge inspection considerations?

this came up recently for me, luckily I had tissu tape on the upper gap, not so spendy, but before I put on mylars id like to be better informd.

Thanks,

Uh no. ...but that does reminds me of a great story, I'll not mention the location to save embarrassment,... a new line boy is being showed the ropes, how to remove wing tape on a glider at the end of a day. He is asked to finish that off and the supervisor leaves... to come back later and find all the mylars removed as well.
