Never a good idea to put adheasives on paint, try a blow drier, heat it up slowly and evenly and it should pull off.
Or, take it to a proffesional body place and give them the nightmare, then if the paint gets jacked its on someone elses wallet.

+1 Also try dental floss

I have heard heating the area up and using dental floss. Than some goo gone to get the rest of the tape off. Did you know they sell ones that mount right on the black trim instead of the paint? They look a little sleeker and do not touch the paint.

Yeah, kinda. It had rained a little that night also, so there was some ice on the glass. I opened the door to get to put my stuff in the car and get the scraper. When I closed the door the window struck the plastic and the plastic shattered. The window must not have dropped enough when I open the door. It didn't seem to affect it when I opened it though.

Thanks for the heating idea.

The placement was supposed to be permanant.It has only been 8 months. I have had the same product on other vehicles without issue. So I wasn't concerned about needing to remove it. I was very careful in placing to make sure the glass cleared when the doors were opened, but did not count on ice getting in the way.

By the way, it has been a week, and not a word from the company on warranty, or how to remove the thing.

When looking for them for the Mustang, these were the only ones I could find. I actually have some that mount in the between the door window frame and track for the glass for the truck we have. Couldn't find those either. But if the window drop is going to be an issue then, I guess I'll just have to do without.
