I would have said to start with goo-gone.  In general, start with the 
least effective thing (not to impugn goo-gone), so it's less likely to 
cause harm.

But my main reason to chime in is to say *don't use anything without 
testing it first somewhere "inconspicuous" or disposable*.  That would 
include testing on painted metal, rubber gaskets if it might touch them, 
perhaps even the glass and defroster wires if you can.

I'd keep the MEK away from the car.  I try to.  It's a very good paint 
stripper.

Hmmm, although, if you are working with the glass out, you could 
probably go pretty harsh on it, just watch out for the defroster junk.
