Bug and Tar remover, almost any brand will do. Get the paste kind if possible.

Works like magic

the service manual says (on page 20-43) to "scrape off the double-faced adhesive tape, then clean the molding surface with alcohol. Glue the new double-faced adhesive tape (3M 4252, or equivalent) to the molding."

but i think that the above refers to the butyl tape used to hold down the molding where the roof meets the body... cant find the tape you refer to (dont know why it would be different though).
dont think i would scrape with anything other than my fingernail, but i have used alcohol and/or wd40 to remove adhesive on the body.
