I bent the tip of an old butter knife into a "U" and scraped it out slowly while using a blow dryer for heat. Works great and doesn't damage anything.

Use fishing line and work it back and forth to cut through the tape on the backside. That is what all the instructions say to do when you buy something that is held on with 3M tape. When I bought my RX8Strakes stealth LED light that goes behind the accent, I had to pull it off and fishing line worked fine for me.
