What is the best way to remove the bumpstrips off the side of a SRi? had a go at mine today... got the strip off straight away, but the rubber sticky stuff underneath just wont budge!! tryed heating it wit a hot air gun and no joy... tryed using a blade but not too much as didnt want to scratch the paintwork.. but still no joy so whats the best way?

Thanx !

Heat Gun, Hair dryer, Boiling water etc to melt the glue. Then use an old credit card or similar to scrape.

Then Tar and bug remover to get rid of anything thats left
