Default HELP! Got a @#$%^$% Gooey Mess

So I velcro my toll road transponder to my dash and leave the car in the hot sun while I was at work. Come out of work to find a F'n gluey, gooey mess of adhesive on my dash . Any ideas on how to remove it with out harming or discoloring the dash? I thought about spraying WD40 on a rag and letting it soak on the adhesive but I'm afraid of harming the dash. Any ideas guys? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm just sick about this mess . There's got to be a better way to attach these things. I like to remove the transponder when not in use cause it looks like chit on the dash (or the window for that matter).

That should work. Denatured alcohol should remove the mess also.

Just duct tape it to the dash and forget about it.
