Only way to do it is heatgun/ hair dryer... Then to remove The glue use a tar remover, the thing I've found best to remove the glue left behind is gum and ink remover spray.

Wallpaper strippers/steamer, are better than a heat gun. Then use a tar and glue remover to get the crap off.

I've done about 3 vans with a heat gun, and the last one I did with a wallpaper stripper, and did it in half the time. The heat gun gets too hot, and the plastic breaks, and I think the stem seems to transfer the heat better.
