Question Help - Mugen Visor Removal

Hello All,

So, my driver side Mugen window visor is starting to detach from the metal. Upon further inspection, it almost looks like someone tried to steal it. Right where it is coming off, the visor has little chips in it. Odd.

So, what I need to know is ... does anyone have a real solid way of removing these things without leaving much residue? They have only been on there for like 3 - 4 months.

Also, what 3M tape should I buy to put it back on?

Thanks.

u can rip the darn thing off ice cold, but once you let some goo gone soak in for 2 minutes, you can practically look at it and it falls off like nothing.
