I would go to the auto paint store and buy a quart of Adhesive Remover and try that. It works good for the auto trim guys to remove even very hardened contact cement, which looks a lot like the stuff on your car. Too, it is very compatible with vinyl, leather and paint.

Slight correction. The stuff I was referring to is actually Adhesive Cleaner. Its primary ingredient is Xylene, and then some other stuff. Here is a picture of the can, front and back. I think it cost me about twelve bucks.

Guess I've inhaled too much lately.

Careful when working with Xylene. We use it in my lab extensively as a clearing agent and medium and that stuff will eat away at anything. Because it's a hydrocarbon it's oily in feel and texture and a bit hard to work with pouring wise.
For clean up, use 100% alcohol because it's immiscible with water directly.
