My dash top leather is pulling away from the front and has a bubble extending 80% of it's width. It appears that the leather was cut short when it was factory installed allowing minor shrinkage to pull it loose. Each year it is worse but is not easily seen unless you are looking for it. At the end of this summer season I'd like to disassemble it and have it reupholstered.

Is there any guide available for the removal? Any good experiences with someone to replace the leather? I'll likely have to have the airbag cover done as well for match reasons, but the cluster may be OK if the match is reasonably good.
