Default removing vinyl

I put a vinyl overlay where the rear filler bird was on my TA and I want to remove it because it's starting to peal, but it is still stuck pretty well, how can i remove it without hurting the finish on the plastic??

Yeah, heat it up, and peel it off. You can peel it off without heating ... but it helps alot... baby oil will remove any sticky residue left on as well
