Keypad Removal

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the keypad entry piece that can be bought off ebay or from the dealer? It uses some strong double stick tape. I put it on my 1999 SD, but now I have a remote start system, so the keypad is useless.

Try a piece of dental floss to cut through the sticky backing.

Is there a good solvent that will take off the sticky residue w/o damaging the paint? I was thinking maybe just rubbing alcohol.

Be sure to test any solvent somewhere where it isn't obvious, a door jamb maybe. Some stuff is sold around here called goof off. Similar name to googone, but probably not related at all. If you could buy Goof Off in gallon containers it'd be a convenient way to strip the paint off a car.

Heat it with a hair dryer and use a floss doubled. If you have some sort of solvent use it at the same time. It will make it easier.

So what happens if you lock your keys in the truck? It might be pretty useful in that case.

The remote start works on a different frequency than the keypad(which just sticks to the door and sends a signal like the factory keyless entry - it is not the hard wired keypad that comes from the factory). If I lock my keys in I have a spare hidden under the truck.

another vote here for the fishing line. as for the sticky stuff, wd-40 works with some adhesives. if not, a clay bar will work.
