Carefully heat an end of the trim to be removed with your iron just enough to pick up a corner with a hobby knife. Use a temperature setting lower than you would use to shrink it, just enough to soften the adhesive. Once you have an end or corner started continue to heat and peel the stripe till it's all off. A little alcohol to clean off the left over adhesive and your done. Finding the right temperature is the key.
