Default Removing stick-on wood trim

What is the best way of removing that Mopar stick-on wood trim they sell at the dealership? Mine is slowly starting to lift off and looks kinda shabby looking so wanted to remove it but not sure what the best way is? My guess is a heat gun maybe?

I did an after market kit years ago and am removing mine now also. I just slowly heat mine up with a hair dryer and pull, then heat and pull some more. Getting the adhesive off is going to be the real fun part.

My fear of using a solvent is what it might do to the plastic dash though. Thats why I havent used it. i have been using 99% alcohol.

Adhesive remover is great for paint, but man I bet those chemicals in Goo Gone or 3M would destroy your dash.

Goo Gone works great! I used it and had no problem. It takes a bit to get the glue off but there was no damage to the dash.
