Gasoline. Soak a rag in it and let it sit on the sticker for a couple minutes. Should penetrate through the sticker to the glue and loosen it up.

my main concern is not to soften or deface the part..

Maybe try some mineral spirits and test an inconspicuous area first.

WD40 is known for that. When I didn't have any, I have used mineral spirits to remove OLD stuck on duct tape from my vinyl back seat. I used a drill with one of those brillo wheels on it, and covered the brillo wheel with a hand towel with some mineral spirits on it. Otherwise it would have been a lot of manual labor..

I like 3M adhesive remover but I've never tried it on something that old.

The 3m stuff is the best I've ever used. What is that piece made of?

Hopps #9 nitro solvent (gun cleaner.)
I have used it to remove stickers from soft plastic parts, and it seems to remove the stickers adheasive without harming the plastic. I have never used it on fiberglass, so you may want to test it in an unseen area first?

Harbor Frieght has cheap ones. I use their junk all the time for one shot applications. If you were going to do a lot of them, I would invest in quality.

be careful with a real heat gun though, don't get the part too hot...since it's not fiberglass, but something similar, who knows how it'll hold up to heat. you try a razor blade and scrap it off? be really careful to not scratch the part though, since it's not glass or metal

Lacqure Thinner works well too. That is why it is called the "MAGIC JUICE"....
