Dental floss or fishing line, followed with some WD40 or Goof off.

What he said. I used fishing line, then removed the residue with 3M adhesive remover.

Use a Hair Dryer and heat the reflector up then slowly pull it back then use a cleaner to remove the excess glue.

Heat with a hair dryer and slowly pull them off working from one end to the other.

This leaves behind no adhesive the majority of the time.

Whats wrong with reflectors anyway??? Why would you remove something that may help avoid an accident. Any thing that helps 4 wheelers see me is alright with me. My two cents.
