Removing old dried tape residue from dashboard?? 200 1989

I have just gotten the necessary parts and put my glove box door back on. Unfortunately, while the hinges were broken, the previous owner taped it shut, so there is an area of old dried tape goo on the glove box door and the top of the dash. Any suggestions on how to remove it? I have already tried lighter fluid, brake cleaner and even carburetor cleaner, none of which seem to have any effect whatsoever. The only thing that does is scraping, which is not practical due to the embossed texture of the parts in question. I plan to replace the dash eventually, as it is badly cracked, but if there is anything relatively easy I can do to improve its appearance until then, it would be nice.

There was a related thread not too long ago, on the subject of removing tape residue from exterior paint, but, if I remember correctly, that one was inconclusive.
