Does anyone have the missing (deleted?) details on vinyl wrap to do this repair?

3M 1080 Matte Metallic Charcoal Air-Release Vinyl Wrap Roll (1/2ft x 5ft)

Thanks! Any idea what the template looked like? The curved portion looks tricky. I’d be tempted to use knifeless tape and do it in two separate pieces.

Team. As the video attached to this awesome repair method is no longer available could you please advise if the bezel needs to be removed / disassembled to apply the vinyl film or ic can be done on the assembled one?

No, the bezel does not need to be removed. I suggest you have a sharp Exacto knife, to trim out the edges, careful not to cut the plastic bezel. You WILL mess it up at least once, so be prepared for that, I did. The hardest part for me was forming the corners, at the bottom of the nav screen. I used a hair dryer to soften up the vinyl, and pushed it down with my finger. That is the trickiest part. If it doesn't sit just right, I put a slit in it, to help it form properly.
Good luck. I did mine a long time ago, and it still looks great.

Thanks Steve. That helps a lot! I was afraid I will be forced to unscrew everything from the bottom to the top to get the bezel out
