Remove aftermarket shifter knob covers

[Opus]

I'm assuming the previous owner was a Denver Bronco's fan. Otherwise, I can't explain why on a Hydro-Blue Sahara they would have covered both the shifter knob and the transfer case knob with bright orange plastic covers.

They are stuck on pretty well, so I'm guessing they are attached with 3M tape or something similar. Anyone tried removing these before? My first instinct is a heat gun on low and a lot of patience but if anyone has any other tricks please let me know.

Some dental floss on a sewing needle if you can slip it behind the plastic at a spot where the adhesive isnt. Then grab the ends of the floss and saw the tape from the side when its warmed up.
