Try a hairdryer instead. Be a bit careful not to overheat, or when you pry them off, with a PLASTIC spatula, you may bend them. I bent mine, but ordered some new ones from the dealer that I then blacked out.

Get a heatgun, they're not that expensive, and you know you'll need one anyway, at least someday, just in case!LOL

I also see that as I good reason to buy one!


Combine that with some good-old fishing line & you will be all set.

Heatgun and fishing line. Then some adhesive remover and you're good to go

Next time try wide unwaxed dental floss. Has more tooth than fishing line and saws the foam tape real easy. WD40 does a nice job of removing the leftover adhesive - just be sure to clean it good after.
