Be careful of any adhesive removers. If you go that route make sure to read it carefully and see if it is paint/clear coat safe. Otherwise you will probably damage your paint. At our body shop we use WD-40 on the adhesive that won't come off. We will spray some on the adhesive and let sit for approx 10min. Then we take a hair dryer or a heating gun and put in on low. Don't get your paint soo hot you cant touch it with your finger. But slowly heat up the adhesive and rub it with your finger or a cotton towel. Even just the heat will allow it to come off after applying a little elbow work to it. The wd-40 will help break down the adhesive without damaging your paint or scratching it. It take some time but it does come off. The longer it has been on your vehicle, the more time it will take.

Yeah that happened to me as well, I just took a hair dryer, it will stink for a little bit, but its better than seeing those little scraps of plastic sticking out.
Good Luck

Finger nail polish remover would work as it disolves glues. But the hir dryer on low was a good idea as well warm it and then try to rub it off.

I just read in readers digest that fingernail polish needs to set on it for about 20 min. then it should come right off.

Try a hair dryer on low setting!

TELL THE PLACE WHERE YOU PURCHASE IT. I PRESUME IT IS IN WARRANTY AND IF IT IS-DON'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT NOTIFY THEM THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND YOU ARE NOT ACCEPTING IT UNLESS THEY TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.
