i have a wood dash kit now and i was wondering how hard it would be to replace itwith a different one

 

just use a hair dryer or heat gun and heat up the stuff and pull....

 

Yeah, but just remember that if you do that, you cant use it again

I would use a heat gun. It will take forever with a hairdyer. The hardest part is cleaning all those residue. You could buy one of those rubber wheels at body shop supply store that are used to remove pinstrips. If not, it's alot of rubbing with your finger tips with goo off.

 

true..true

 

No one will buy a used dash kit. After reapplying all those 3M tapes, it might cost as much as a new kit.

 

Yeah, I can't imagine if you'd resell the kit (if that what you plan) Mine didn't seem very reusable (I also ripped pieces)
It's a biatch getting all the stuff (old adhesive) off, I had the bruised fingers and bloody nails to prove it. Rubbing alcohol helps get it off and preps it for the new adhesive. It lightened up the plastic under though, but if you are putting it over anyway, it shouldn't really bother anything. It took a while and I had my girl workin, Workin, WORKIN'! (If I only had one of those "rubber thingies" 1max2nv is talkin about...)

 

i just took off two pieces so i can get new ones installed and they were a BIAtch to take off..

 

Slip strand of fishing line or dental floss under edge (wear leather gloves) and work it back and forth til the piece is separated from the dash...should work well for small parts.

 

The rubber wheel thingy I'm talking works like a giant eraser. It basically attached to a drill and you can put it up againest all those old adhesive. It should spin off all those junk. I said it should because I saw the product after I already put on the new kit.

 

Shave it like ya would your emblems on the trunk.

i used the heat gun and the pieces came off, and there was no adhesive left on the dash...

so as soon as my new pieces come in.. i can install them...
