Schwalbe Durano Tyres - question!

Have a pair of these on my bike and love them.
I have a question which will probably sound daft - but here goes.

Noticed last night that part of the reflective strip on the rear tyre has peeled away (we're talking about 1cm here). However the strip underneath is still white and still looks pretty reflective (although it was daylight when I noticed it).

Do these strips come with some sort of "paper" covering that I've foolishly not removed OR is the strip below just not reflective? If the reflective strip is actually peeling away is there any adhesive I can use to stick it back on that won't compromise the tyre?

Not sure about the Durano, but My Schwalbe Marathon came with what seemed to be a thin layer of cellophane over the reflective strip. I think it's just to stop them getting dirty in the manufacturing process and in distribution before you get them on your bike. Pretty sure i just peeled mine off, but wait to see what someone else says just in case!!
