Removing Wood Trim

I had a quick question.

The g35 I got is clean but it had wood trim on the inside. I was wondering is there a way to take it off?

It's just adhesive, so you should be able to tear it off. Once it's off, not sure what's best to remove the glue though. However, nail polish remover has worked for me in the past.

Hair dryer or heat gun will help take it off, then use Goo Gone to remove what's left of the adhesive.

Where possible - center console at least - remove the parts from the car before doing this.

I would remove the console pieces first, its easier to work with the pieces off of the car. But a hair dryer and goo gone should do the trick. But no one knows how that glue is going to look. its been on there for at least 6-7 years.

yeah, you have to remove the parts. You dont want a liquid and electrical stuff coming together.
