Default Paint Protector Replacement Instructions

I am to the point where I cannot stand to see the dirt lines underneath the paint protectors on the door and quarter panel - cleaned most of it around the edges, but some dirt has gotten under the protector leaving splotches and it looks terrible on a white car. I have bought the replacement pieces, but wondering if there are official Lexus instructions for removing the old pieces and installing the new pieces. Anyone out there done this and can share some tips?.

You should be able to use a heat gun to soften it and then maybe adhesive remover will be needed afterwards.

I know this has been discussed several times before; do a quick search and find out what others did to remove them.
