Take a heat gun or hair drier and soften the glue and remove it. Then take some goo be gone and get rid of the rest That was a popular aftermarket thing.

A few years ago someone made replacemen units for all the wood. He did a great job and looked so much better. The problem is that he was a home swood worker with a high degree of skill. which would be difficult to replicate/4

If you remove it be prepared to break a trim piece or two. Anything that has thin sections be careful., especially around the gauges. You might want to consider getting a new one just in case. If you need it you have no down time, if not, you've got a spare.

removed the wood from my 86
It was put on using double sided tape and that was a bear to get off but rubbing alcohol worked. I gave the kit away on the forum. I'm pretty sure that this kit drilled some holes that were not there to start with on my dash ... don't know what to do about those.
