I used a hair dryer to warm them up, then used the tar remover stuff.

Then its just patients, didn't take that long though

Be very carefull! The glue on mine had made the paint soft,and lifted it in places.Looks a bit naf,thinking of fitting new ones to cover it up,but will get a quote to paint first.
