^^mmm, why is it all pushed up around the gear selector, switches etc? I tend to think you might have been too anxious to put the car back together and didn't wait for the glue to fully cure.

Just a heads up a ran an excato blade along the edges and just cut it at the edge, No need to fold over and have air pockets.

It looks great but what I wonder is does that glue leave a sticky residue when you take the wrapping off?
