Jack; There is an excellent product made by 3M, "Adhesive Remover". Likely
available at a body/paint supply house. I have used it without harming paint
or removing color from vinyl upholstery. A good soaking should loosen the
tape. Of course, you should test it in an inconspicuous spot first. No
financial interest etc. Jerry Oliver, Olympia, WA
