Vivint glass break sensors (GB2) and Ring - What to do with them?

Our house has Vivint glass break sensors and a Skypanel which we no longer use since we switched to Ring. So here's my dilemma.

  1. Should I remove the Vivint system completely and keep Ring? Ring still does not have glass break sensors. We do not have pro monitoring on Vivint but the Skypanel and sensors work.
    1. If I remove the Vivint system then the problem is removing the GB2 sensors. They are on the drywall with 3M tapes. I have seen many posts and videos of how people remove 3M tape from drywalls with razer blades, goo gone etc. This is a little different. The 3M tape is not visible from any of the sides. Even if I slide dental floss and slowly work my way down I will be working blind. Wife keeps asking me to leave it alone but if I do remove Vivint I want to at least sell off the sensors and make some money off it...but don't want to spend that money (and more) on fixing the drywall.
  2. Should I keep both Vivint (for the glass break) and Ring? Both systems are paid for. If I keep both, is there a way to make Vivint GB2 sensors work with Ring? Maybe through Alexa?

Any advice will be appreciated.
