Ewwww that sucks, I dunno though [&:]
I hate something like that happen to mine. I went through one and when I got home I noticed the last 4 on the 4x4 sticker on the tailgate was barely hanging on by a thread. I just kinda pushed it back on and pretended like nothing happened...supprisingly it hasn't fallen off again

Try a hairdryer along the pinstripes. Move the tip of the hairdryer back and forth about 6-8 inches from the truck. It should heat up the glue behind the pinstripes enough to pull them off. You can go to any auto parts store and purchase this goo-gone decal remover spray as well. It will help remove the glue residue from your car. Works pretty well. Just ask any of the store employees for a decal remover spray, they should know what to give you. Costs like $5 a can.

I used a hairdryer, and finished up with some non- acetone (acetone) worked really well. Removed the white pinstripes but left the ones on the tailgate as they were not affected, the goo-gone is a real good idea, took me a while to get adhesive off.
