I have no experience with dash but be carefully. Not sure which you are considering to "nullify" the glue but goof off and goo gone are two different things.

Funny how a little research goes a long way. Thank you!

Try Aero 303 protectant. If it does not come off at least your dashboard will be protected from the sun. One of the best ones out there.
Thanks for the suggestion.

My truck came with some residue on the dash and I did not notice it for a while. I tried a bunch of stuff and nothing worked great. Eventually just slow and careful rubbing with a microfiber and a household spray cleaner got most of it off. The friction with some kind of lubrication to keep from damaging the surface was the key.

The dealer was no help- big surprise.
Thank you.

I have had good luck with plain old WD-40 - I have not had it damage anything yet. I have seen GooOff damage some plastics.....
My wife's first initial is W and my first initial is D. We are planning on a WD-40 party for our 40th anniversary, which is still a few years off. Thanks for the suggestion.

Simplest thing to try first which you probably already have - duct tape.
To add to my original post.... Just bought a hat, removed the sticker and it left adhesive behind. Thirty seconds with a piece of duct tape and it pulls it all right off that fabric. Works awesome for this purpose.

If duct tape was around in the middle ages they would have accused it of witchcraft and burned it.
