I used Goo Gone and it didn't work so well for me. I ended up using Turtle Wax bug & tar remover. It softened it up a bit and my thumb nail got a pretty good workout scraping the adhesive off. In hindsight, I would have probably used a heat gun or hair dryer to soften up the tape before trying to remove it. I removed it when the tape was cold and left ALOT of the adhesive behind.

All you need now is a hardtop and it will look really nice.

maybe using a blow dryer would help to heat the tape up and remove easier... dont know how strong the adhesive is on the tape but it could pull paint is its that strong... heat would loosen up the adhesive
