How do I get this thing off my dash without damaging the dash?
Hey guys I know this isn't a conventional detailing question, but I figured you guys would know best. I bought a 2007 VW passat and I've been in the process of cleaning up the interior. The dash is made of a soft vinyl I believe. It is somewhat soft to the touch. The previous owner attached a hard plastic circle to the dash. I'm guessing it was some kind of GPS mount. It's really stuck on there and I'm worried about damaging the soft dash while taking it off, but it causes a lot of glare on the windshield while driving. Hopefully the picture works. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks guys!

Subbed. Ive had trouble with stuff lime this in the past. Adhesive of any kind can be difficult to remove withoit also damaging the interior surface.
If i had to give it a shot, i probably try to lightly heat it up with my heat gun or steamer. If that took it off, id try to remove the remaining residue with dlimonene and a plastic razor blade...maybe some more light steam.

I would normally dip the floss with some mineral oil or cooking oil to help it glide when removing badges off cars. Im sure that the floss method works well with items that are glued on too. If you have a steamer that would greatly assist you in that project.
