Well I bought my kit two years ago, and lately one peice has been tsarting to split, by split I mean that the clear top peice that kind of magnifies the wood and makes it look all shiny and glossy is separating from teh actual wood peice itself. I guess you can call it the protective layer on top of the actual wood trim peice. Does anyone know how I can put this peice back together? Do I need glue or some kind of liquid? You cant just push the peice back on, it wont stay, and its not clear, im assuming some kind of liquid need to be between the two layers. Here is a pic of what I am talking about.

Oh yeah, also, the glossy layer (or whatever you want to call it) gets soft when it is out in the sun or when the temp is really hot, but when it cools down, the layer is very hard...so If i were to put that layer back on right and stick it to the wood, I would have to make it hot first. I dunno =P

 

I would send pics to the dealer you bought the kit from. Maybe they'll be nice enough to send you new pieces to replace those bad spots. Even if they charge you, one piece shouldn't be too much.

 

two years is a while you might need to buy a new one...they might have known it wasa going to break like that and did not offer you a good warranty....(i think we got the same kit unfortunately

 

Woodgrain on black in ugly. Take that stuff off. Get your money back and spend it on sometihng more worth while.

 

His dash is beige.

 

lol yeah i have tan interior..ty luke , anyways, yeah i did buy it 2 years ago, and it has been fine, but after a while in this miami sun, im not surprised that the dash is getting to be like this. Oh yeah i bought the kit on ebay =X

 

good luck

 

My bad, dude.
It didn't look like it was the beige interior from the pics you posted that I saw.
It looked much darker than that.
You definitely need to get your money back on that stuff.

IMO, the woodgrain doesn't ever look good though.

i had that exact problem with mine...and so i took it all off and painted my dash aluminum with Duplicolor Wheel Paint....Looks awesome....!!!

 

i dont think aluminum would look that good on my tan interior....i wish i could just buy the peice somewhere =/

 

I have the same everything as you do and same problems. I wanna take it all off and stay with stock black but im afraid it will leave marks, what do you think? Whats the easiest way to go back to stock?

Well, I heard that if you get it real hot, like with a blowdryer, the kit will become soft, and be easier to peel off. You need to get it hot for a while though, so you wont damage anything. Hopefully the adhesive will stick to the dash kit instead of the original dash. If anything remains, get some goo gone or some cleaner to take off the remains, do that while its hot too, not good to do it when its cold cause then everything is hard. Hope that helps

 

Yup, ive had it get hot and soft and almost went headlong pulling crap off but i wanted to make sure itd work.
