The best way that I know of is to use a body shop eraser on the end of a drill. Just don't use to much pressure or to much speed or you will burn through the clear coat.
You can buy body shop erasers at most parts stores.

I just re-read your post, I thought it was the pin striping you were talking about, but it's actually the body side mouldings if they're rubber.
You should be able to get an edge loose with a knife blade and then just pull it off. After that you still need to clean up the adhesive the same way I just described with the body shop eraser

I did that to my 92 S10. I just pulled off the molding, and then I used PB Blaster and alot of elbow grease to get the adhesive off. It worked well and it was cheap. Korey.
