I know this is stupid but I used Paint thinner on mines and it came off. No harm was done to the paint.

I finally got it off. I just went back to the bug and tar remover and let it sit for awhile. Thanks again for the help guys.

To remove tape 'goo" without doing any damage to the window or paint, use alcohol (no, not the type you drink!). Rubbing alcohol works great!!

nope- wont hurt anything, but keep it off of the rubber.
and, again, be sure to rewax any area treated with wd-40 or any other removal product

Anybody got pix? I read about people doing this, but I've not seen the end result. Just curious.
