Double sided tape removal

The previous owner of my truck mounted the drivers side vent visor so low that I couldn't open the vent window. I took the visor off yesterday and most of the tape stayed on the truck. How do I finish removing the tape without hurting the paint?

I'd use solvent, probably fuel to start with. I wouldn't step up to carb or brake cleaner till nothing else worked, that stuff can be hard on paint.

GooGone works great. You can get it at most grocery/hardware stores.

Oven cleaner works too, be careful with it. Soak it and cover with plastic wrap.
Have a beer or 2. Peel the plastic wrap, the glue should be sttuck to it. Scape what litlle bit may be left.

Used Goo Gone and a little bit of time, patience and elbow grease to get my tape off.
