Default removing vent visors

I want to remove my vent visors......which are the double sided tape kind. Does anyone know of the best way to go about doing this without ripping the black trim tape off the door? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And yes I am aware I should have not put them on there in the first place.

Thanks. Great advice. I'll probably try the debadging method first since I've done that before and then use fishing line if that doesn't work. Googone huh? That won't mess up the black tape will it?

Thanks again for the help. If anyone wants these just pm. me and I'll give em away cheap. They are the esam style but I got them on ebay so I'm not sure if they are actual esams or not. They are high quality and look just like them though.

I think I just want to go with the wades but I can't find them anywhere....even ebay. Does anyone have a link to some wades for the xb?

the best way to remove them is a hair dryer and fishing line heat up the plastic and then slide the line as near to the black tape around the door and goo-b-gone on a paper towel

When I took mine off all I did was pull them off. The black tape on the door is way stronger than the DS tape on the visors.

Just start at the corner and lift.
