Heat it up with a hairdryer and peel gently

If it's a silicon type sealant or sticky tape then then the HD should do it

mate if its stikaflex i wouldnt even bother trying to take it if it would have bonded to the paint work, we use this to stick and seal a deck and a hull of the boats together these are any size from 43' to 105' of coruse they are bolted to but stikaflex is some strong stuff, you dont wanna end up bending the roof do you?
