peal it off, and remove the residue with lighter fluid.

Take it to the dealer and make them remove it.

My husband owns a sign sop, and has personally removed a dealer decal for me off a car previously. In the sign shop business, you remove a lot of vinyl and adhesive.

He suggests NOT using lighter fluid as it may damage the clear coat. He removed mine with Goof Off, and there was absolutely no damage.

This "advice" is not intended to represent the opinion of an Audi representative, just a forum member who has faced the same situation.

I tried goof off and it takes the paint off as well. I tried it in the trunk area and rubbed it and well there was red paint on my towel so i ditched that ****.

I definitely would listen to Trailboss—I haven't seen a problem with Goof Off, but that's the kind of advice that I take seriously. Paint on the towel is just scary.

i did this without any damage
use a hair dryer (i didnt have to.. im in FL)
use dental floss and carefully remove it, sometimes it will peel off without leaving any residue, but most cases it wont.
then use bug remover, one that says it is clear coat safe, and polish....
its easy

Bug and Tar Remover also helps.
