Rain guards and 3M double sided tape.

I bought a GXP that had rain guards installed on it (probably my first mistake). One blew off the other day and now the car looks retarded... there is a second one coming loose, and I've decided that I need to rip them all off....

So, since they are stuck on with this double sided 3M tape (almost has a spongy feel to it) how do I remove the tape?

I tried Goo-Gone, a little rubbing alcohol, WD-40 and nothing removes it. I don't want to scratch up my ride trying to pry it off...

Is there anything that dealerships/detailers use to remove decals/bumper stickers, etc?

rub it off with your fingers. it starts to hurt after a while though since it rubs your skin off with it eventually. but i have found it to be the easiest way. heating it up also helps out alot too

Rub off the large foamy rubber first. then once that is gone use the 3m stuff to get the glue off the car. THen its good to clean and wax the area as the 3M pulls off the wax.
