i used goo gone. came out great, i had just the back 1/4 on the driver side where you can barely see the clear coat line
then rubbing compound takes any/most dirt off and wax it after that

I've wanted to as well, but 2 things stop me: Some people have had it dig in and remove paint because it's just so old and almost became a piece of the paint (and heating it up may work, but could do just the same by softening the paint more than the double sided tape), and because that's basically a guard from other people's doors.
They look wonderful w/o that trim/molding!
I can't help but notice your fender looks odd compared to the rocker panel and door, like it's stuck out and down a bit. Not to mention it looks lighter, repainted?

Looks good I really want to do it to mine. But I'm not sure if I want a bunch of dings on my door. BTW my grill does that same thing, it sits a bit off. I always wondered if I was the only one.

The few people I've heard who did it, used either dental floss or low lb test fishing line. I'd rather use the latter, but then again with dental floss, that would break before you'd dig into paint or the like. (Just a tip for anyone else debating doing it)
