goo gone should take car of it. i've heard a lot of suggestions for what to use though, including goo gone and wd-40 even. but yea, goo gone is the most popular from what i've seen. good luck.

I rubbed the worst of it off---gave me blisters on my thumb, but oh well. for the little bit that is left, use WD-40 or Goo Gone

If the adhesive was a different colour (black) it was most likely replaced. This does not mean that the car was in an accident. It only means that the molding was replaced...could have come off due to poor adhession at the factory. Or, yes it could mean that there was some body work done. I'd check the bottom of the door to see if there is any double layers or overspray. Goo Gone will do the trick but like red04cavy said blisters are a good bet once done. Happy peeling.
