Tape it off. I've done a few vettes and lexus' that have had them installed and just tape off the 'seam' a little further than they actually are and you'll be good to go.
the build up is already there, i bought it used about a month ago with the bra installed. the problem lies with the wax, dirt, and debris are in the seam and the adhesive has started to seep out at the seam and is holding it all there. so i was going to remove it and completely detail the car since its cooling off outside.
