T-cut and polish it out, if there is any glue residue then use white spirits but make sure you wash the white spirits off afterwards.

Stuck it back on, T-cutted the hell out of it with no success, I think the section would need spraying over to bring the paint flush

The hinge probably just needs tightening.

The whole of that section is slightly out of line, I was in a crash and it deformed all of the rear driver quarter.
