Man. you are so lucky they didn't damage the boot. They normally don't give a sh1t, and just get any old tool behind it and yank it off, scratching or even denting the bodywork.
As far as gettting the dimensions right for the sticker, well worth getting from VW. I have seen so many V6 4 moitions where they've got it badly wrong,it spoils the whole look of the car.
Glad it's a simple job for you
