just remove it with a hairdryer then use dental floss or fishing line. slowly rub back the sickerflex that will be left there. follow by a cut back ploish and then a gloss polish. did this on my old impreza came up great

Let an old person park it by feel.... that way the rubber strips will be gone along with the paint etc.
