The problem I have seen is the longer its been on there the more time it has to bake to the car.

When I bought my Mustang I peeled off the Dealer Badges Immediately with no problems. However when my friend bought a 2001 Silverado (Black, and in Texas) when we peeled the dealer badge off it took some paint with it.

As far as the heat thing goes, I don't see how much hotter you can get it than the summer sun will get it...thats a lot of heat! Then again I am in Texas, cars get too hot to touch here.

I like the solvent idea and the fishing line idea, but that adhesive is so strong I see you breaking several pieces of fishing line and hurting your hands.

I copied and pasted this from another site. It sounds like they are talking about removing the trim first with little concern to whether or not the adhesive gets removed until later....see below.

Carefully remove the strips and use some General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner/Remover by 3M. Just pour a little onto a rag and rub it into the adhesive that's left over. Let it sit for about a minute and use a terry cloth towel to remove what the remover has eaten through using a buffing motion. Repeat this and the adhesive will come off without damaging the paint. Be sure to use some rubber gloves and work outside or in a well ventilated garage. After you've removed all of the adhesive you should wax the areas throughly to give it a good shine. I've had good luck with the green Turtle Wax paste and Classic Quick Wax.
