I've removed mine to replace with Carbon Fiber sills, I assume this is why your removing yours. Only advice is get a flat head screwdriver and pry up. They are held by heavy duty doublesided tape. There really isn't a reason to remove the residue since whatever your putting over it will cover it. And it makes for another sticky surface, so don't bother wasting a gallon of goo gone and 3 hours of your time

Cool

Be carefull with a screwdriver.
I used a wide plastic putty knife.

Actually my Wife performed the operation for me after she bought me the sills.
