The replacement is not exactly like the stock (OEM) but is pretty similar. Also noticed that this replacement has a blue tint whereas the one on my car was clear. Not sure if it will become more clear with time.

I left the car under the sun for a while so the trunk was already pretty hot. I then used a heat gun as needed, but the sun did most of the work for me. Even so, after removing all the tape there was tons of tape residue left. I tried using "goo gone" and some other stuff. It worked a little but what worked the best is WD-40. I had to do it a few times though. Put on WD-40 let is soak in, then scrape. Then put on some more, then scrape that off. Eventually it was all clean. At the end of the day my hands and fingers were falling off LOL from all that scraping.

I didn't have a squeegee so I did my best trying to remove the bubbles but sadly there were many spots where bubbles are still present - oh well, it still looks better than it looked before.

I did notice that there is a blue border around the the tape. Wonder if i should have cut that off...
