I havn't done this, but maybe you could just score it with a utility knife or cut it with a hot wire.

u could just cut it with a razor blade, then replace the plastic strip and u will never see your jagged cut again.

First, draw the line you want to cut. Use a cutting wheel on a die grinder, roto-zip or something similar. Follow your line closely; Finish the edge with a file or sanpaper; Replace the edge trim. Presto!!
