    I spent ages removing my GSi boot vinyl, heat gun/hairdryer. It's not the ultimate heat you need, go too hot & it tears off into tiny pieces & then the glue gets real messy.
    Just experiment until you get the technique spot on where the vinyl still retains a bit of strength but peels away. A plastic scraper (nectar card) will help with removal too. As said, some tar remover/solvent or caramel wheel will help get teh gluse residue off.
