Angier,

My issue was letting the translucent/opaque protective coating remain on =
the canopy for about 4 years before taking it off -- but I suspect the =
problem's similar.

I spite of cautions about isopropyl alcohol, I used this, and scraped =
with tongue depressors, and it worked.  The truly minor abrasions that =
resulted, polished out easily.  And there's been no crazing or hazing 1 =
year later.

I also have also used mineral spirits and a WD-40-like solvent without =
harm to my canopy or side windows.  Whether they'll help with masking =
tape adhesive, I don't know.
