I've had good luck in general with 3M adhesive remover. See:
http://www.autotoolmart.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=9466&p_catid=294
and also with any of the pre-painting prep type solvents as found at
autobody supply stores or online at Eastwood Co., etc.

These all seem to be aggressive but not so aggressive as to
remove cured paint.

I suggest the use of painters' cloths to protect the interior
and good ventilation and nitrile gloves to protect you.

I'm looking at the same job within a month or two. Please
let us know how it goes. Oh, did you get the liner out in one
piece alright?
