^^^ x2.

If that doesn't work then *SPARINGLY* use nail polish remover, but test how it reacts to the dash plastic first in some hidden area.

x3 for sure. i was working on my project car... the hardtop convertible weatherstrip turned into a tar like substance. a little elbow grease and a small bottle of goo gone did the trick.

also, the orange windex takes sticky things off. i dunno about the dash, but this took off the dealer sticker on the windshield after a year of being melted on there.

be careful w/ nail polish remover, as it's practically acentone which can eat away plastic... not right away but if you let it set there for a bit, you'll see!

if that fails, try a chisel and mallet. i have had good luck with that. seriously, try using some dry ice to peel it off. or a can of r134a without oil.....
