Anyone done a de-burlification? (1 Viewer)

[Super77]

The burl wood trim on my dash and doors is looking pretty ratty. I’m not a fan of the look even when new, and I’d like to remove it all but I’m not sure what’s underneath. It is just appearance grade plastic that was maybe used on the global spec models? How do you remove it?

I’d like to either just leave it bare, find a stick-on kit with a material that looks a little more contemporary, or experiment with laser-cut saddle leather.

Anyone de-burlify and have pics of the results?

I de-Lexified my 100 several years ago. Take your time. Use a low wattage heat gun. And I found WD-40 worked wonders to remove the remaining adhesives

See thread for more info.

You can use plastic trim piece removal tool and pry it off. Then wash the plastic with soap and water to remove residue. I dont have pics but its pretty easy to do.

Does this veneer-looking wood paneling remove in some way without damage? Is it just normal poverty-pack plastic underneath?

Removing wood trim from window switches

Hey everyone, Today was the day I decided to remove the faded, sticker looking, wood grain trim from my window switches. I had heard of many people doing it, however, hadn’t seen any before and after pictures. I used my wife’s hair dryer to warm up the adhesive. I initially started cutting...
