Default Best glue removal???

I'm wanting to know the best solvent or chemical that you guys have used
to get the glue off that is underneath the door panels that holds the plastic on.
What is the best method to remove that stuff?

I'm not sure about that stuff specifically, but diluted simple green works amazing on most glues in general. I use that stuff at least 10 times a day at work, and this is EXPENSIVE custom woodwork. Doesn't have any ill effects on bare wood, so it should be fine on anything in a car. Just spray some on and let it soak for a bit.

I'm not sure, but that might eat away the plastic

well if its anything like removing tag's from a car, i'd use a blowdryer to heat it up and a credit card to scrape. or rub out with a towel to be safe. but the heat will be your best buddy in this situation.

Good thinking. I've got a few scrapers around the shop too.

Any other suggestions?
