How to Install a Wood Dash Kit

If the morning drive seems to be a little boring, maybe your car's dashboard needs to be livened up a bit. A wood dash kit can be installed by a professional, but by following a few simple steps, one can install the dash kit by themselves. The accomplishment of installing the kit, plus the dollars saved, will give an all new appreciation while viewing the dashboard.

Instructions

1. Purchase a wood dash kit. Kits are made to custom fit the specific type of car, so make sure to buy the correct kit for the model and year of the car.

2. Remove the kit from the box. Compare the kit against the dashboard. The fit should be exact. If not, return the kit to the store and buy the correct kit.

3. Wet a towel with rubbing alcohol. Wipe the dashboard where the kit will be applied. If area is not cleaned well with the alcohol, the kit application will not stick.

4. Place adhesive aid that comes with the kit to all areas where sticker will be applied.

5. Work with one piece at a time. Remove red backing and carefully apply to intended area. Smooth out any ripples or bubbles by starting in the middle of the sticker, applying equal pressure to the edges of sticker. Repeat with remaining pieces.

6. Wipe entire dash with polish when done. Sit back and enjoy the car's new look.

Tips & Warnings

• The kit comes with alcohol wipes which may dry out before cleaning the entire area. It is easier to use a clean, lint-free towel moistened with alcohol from a bottle of rubbing alcohol.
