Just letting you know that it might not just come off clean, might have to consider pulling of...checking the damage - if it looks really bad might consider having the parts painted a color you prefer then re-installing.
Good info. I've had decent luck with heat gun to "melt" the glue prior to pulling it off, but i'll have to balance between replacing parts or not and just leaving it, I guess.
