There's a small slot on the underside of the handle to get your puller in, you maybe already knew, but just letting you know

I wrapped top bit then warmed it and smoothed with felt side of smoothing tool then warmed where joint with gloss black bit is then pushed it tight with non felt side (credit card would do), then deep breath and go for it with hobby knife

Garage List
Try cutting the piece in such a way (if i remember it requires only 77cm long for the centre dash trim. ) cut with extra length and width. Then start by removing the rear sticker piece of the wrap and then try to stick it by inserting the edges in between the silver piece and the gloss black border trim. Then go upwards to the top of the piece. The space is less in between but you can try and figure out what can be used to run thru the gap once sticked on along with the hair dryer to get that edge fixed in . Hope i have explained it in the right manner and it helps
