I wish it was that easy. It's a conscience thing. You may not know it's there, but I do. Kind of like how I polished my pipe, and all other aluminum under the hood.

Run a blade between the foam and the hood as if you are filleting a fish. Then heat tape the underside of the hood. Looks nice and clean when you are done, and you don't have to worry about trying to get all the glue and crap off. That's all I did with my M8, and I am PICKY with my sleds.

I have always had good luck with " CALIFORNIA ORANGE" I de-baded my truck with this stuff works great. never took off foam with it but I have used it on plastic with no problems. $18 per can but it works

Well I moved the clips and then there was no glue. I didnt need any chemicals on mine. I then just had to put the clips back on that hold the screens in place. Might have been a few push pins but I had mine off in 15 minutes.

One of my friends has an '09 as well. For 2010 they glued all of the foam on as opposed to the clips. Pissed me off!

oh really that sucks. I was wondering why you were talking about glue on the hood.

OK here it goes and your probably gonna think I'm shaten ya cause i didnt believe the guy that told me either.... hair spray. Not the spray pump kind but the Marge Simpson aerosol. It worked for me on my M1 peeled the foam off and used it on the glue residue that was left behind. It doesnt remove it but it seems to affect the adhesive and almost freeze it so you can rub it off, and comes off clean. And its cheap, unless the wife catches ya sneaken it out of the bathroom.
