how to remove / clean melted rubber part?

Fooking Toyota. This is a soft rubber protective cover that covers the rear lift gate latch. Somehow my cover just melted like leaving a rubber piece in the oven. How the hell does this happen? I found Toyota's rubber parts have deteriorates much faster then their older products. The one on my wife's 06 Sienna still feels like brand new. I have replaced all my window sill rubber parts last year. what a mess. Its a btich to get at from that angle with a screw driver. Looks like I have to get in there and spend 6 hours scraping all the old stuff out before I can fit the new over it. Sticky as hell. I hope I don't have to remove the emblem cover just to clean it. Any thoughts?
