I've since changed directions with my mods and removed it. It really wasn't too bad though. Here's the order in which I did the steps:

-start with a large single piece of vinyl enough to cover the entire roof (doesn't need to be exact, but the closer the better).
-spray and apply front of the car---> back
-cutout shark fin area
-apply vinyl around shark fin area

*After applying the whole overlay the adhesive began to back off the rubber moldings along the sides. At that point i made cuts in between the molding and tucked the vinyl underneath. Finally I cut the slots for the rack. Take your time and be patient, I can't stress this enough. You'll probably be re-aligning the piece since its so large, make sure to have extra bottles of soapy water.

Best of luck.
