Pete --
When I did mine, pretty much the same scenario. I used a product
called 'Goo-Gone', can get it at drug stores etc. On a soft cloth,
with rubbing it removed it all and didn't damage the paint. An I
didn't use and adhesive when replacing them. Figured the adhesive
was the product of a number of PO botched repairs.
