I used laquer thiner on the gooey remnets of the adhesive. It didn't
apear to hurt the paint any. I removed all mine in the first couple
months I had the truck. There were already significant amounts of
dirt and stuff building up along the outer edges of the adhesives...
I was extreemly glad I removed all that crap from my truck. I like
the custom look, and the fact that dirt wont continue to collect
behind some of that trim.
All mine was remove by carefully peeling the objects off, using
a nylon bodywork tool(for smothing bondo) and my hands... (no heat).
Your millage may vary...
