Hair dryer to heat it a little and it should come off easily.Start on one edge and gently lift it off.

I removed mine using the methods described. Once the tape heats up, you can just slowly pull them off. You'll have some goo to clean up, but Goof Off helps. 3M also makes a
spray spray
to clean it up.
