Tape coming off trim

Noticed this today. Any suggestion on what to use to fix on my F Sport?

Happened on my 09 LS a few weeks ago. I used adhesive remover and left both sides exposed. Very tedious but saved big $$$ and love the new chrome look. But, it’s ridiculous in the first place. Very disappointed that Lexus would cut corners with tape on this trim on their flagship and then quote me $1200 to repair.

Would be easy enough to wrap yourself. If anything, removing the rest of it may be more difficult/time consuming, depending on how much adhesive is left over when you go to peel off the rest.
