Yup, like people above said, redo it. I put double-sided tape on the edge of my roof spoiler and when I installed it, I was standing behind my car and noticed the tape since it's grey and made car is black with tints. I thought I could deal with it but eventually redone it with tape in the center and black polyurethane glue on the edges.

To remove it, put some goo gone on it, let it soak for 10-15 minutes, and then slide dental floss or fishing line underneath the tape. Use the goo gone to get rid of any residue before re-installing, with ONE layer of tape.
