i replaced the wood grain on my centre console , this might help , degrease the where the sticker goes , start at one edge, make sure it is straight, pull the backing off slowly ,& back on its self wile pushing the wood grain down rubbing it side to side being carefull not to get air bubbles . hope this makes seance. more or less the same as sticking decals on

Cheers
Is it best to try & remove the old woodgrain?. If I stick it over the existing one - what about the raised wiper/lights etc labels? These will show through and cause bublles (i would guess)

Ta again
