Yep, looks a bit like mine. I think we left it too long to replace/ remove without damaging the paint. As you can see in my posts I needed to get entire decklid panel repainted before covering the entire lid with the clear protectant. Cost a bit of money but final result is better than the factory look with all those shitty edges showing on their 3 piece design.
Goodluck with it.

Does someone have a part # for the strip?

My faith is not totally lost after I spent another 30 min tonight with another method. A bit scary, but I used a metal putty knife at a controlled angle and pressure, then cleaned it up with my adhesive removal wheel. I tried a plastic putty knife, but the edge was bending and dulling in <1min. I only slipped once and knicked the clear coat, but have learned my lesson. It’s going to take me 3-4 hours all in with a good post-wax, but I like the prospect more than a full repaint.

You're very patience, but agree, worth trying to avoid a repaint.
