Heat it up with a blow dryer and put a needle hole in it. The air should come out and fall it should be tacky enough on the inside to adhear itself to the body and you shouldn't notice it.

are you sure its not in the clear coat? the clear could be getting ready to peal. if it is the clear you can wet sand it out and then buff it and you'll never know the difference. is it a new paint job?
