Ok, I get bored easily and am really stoked about putting the overlay on, so.....
Today I pulled the vent rings, gauge cluster and lower console and brought them in the house to warm up. After cleaning everything thoroughly with warm soapy water, I let everything dry. Per the directions that came with the overlay kit I then wiped all contact surfaces down again with a 4x4 surgical sponge and rubbing alcohol. (surprised to see what was still on some of the surfaces.)
I then gently pulled the vinyl from the backing and applied a very fine mist of very mildly soapy water (1 drop baby shampoo, 1 oz filtered water) I used an old lens cleaner bottle given to me by my eye doctor awhile back for the sprayer. I gently laid each piece in place and adjusted location while the backing was still damp. Once the piece was where I wanted it, I gently pushed out any bubbles with my finger at first then with a little more pressure using a micro fiber cloth. Once all pieces were seated in place I used my wife's hair dryer to heat set the pieces in place.
So far I am about half way through this project, but some parts will have to wait until spring, as I really do not want to tear the entire dash apart to do the Upper Center Console.
I will post more pictures later as I do more areas or if I get ambitious and pull the entire dash.
