Identify each panel
Check the outer edges and cut-outs before pressing firmly. Do not stretch the skin to reach a different edge.
-
Smooth progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown and work across the surface gradually, avoiding repeated lifting.

Finish shaped areas
Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not use a heat gun or overheat the console.

Check every opening
Keep vents, ports, buttons and any disc opening unobstructed. Check the panel edges before reconnecting.
Installation questions
Should vinyl cover the ventilation grille?
No. Fit each piece only to its intended exterior surface and leave all ventilation openings clear.
What if a panel does not line up?
Check your console version and the piece orientation. Do not stretch or trim it on the console. Our troubleshooting guide offers further help.
