use dental floss and do it after its been in the sun for a while so the adhesive is hot and more pliable

Or use a heat gun (hair dryer) as a substitute for it sitting in the sun. Then get some goo-gone for the remaining adhesive and you're good to go.

and after your done debadging and goo-gone-ing....wash the area off w/soapy water to get rid of any goo-gone residue left over, and apply a coat of wax to the area when it is dry to protect it.
