Dash Cap Removal Tips?

["Eric Hankinson" <eric@railpros.com>]

Hello again List!

 

I purchased a new plastic dash cap for my high-windshield roadster.  I
currently have an old plastic dash cap in place, which is cracked.  Any
tips on removing the old dash cap so I can install the new one?  Should
I slit the old dash cap to death with a utility knife before peeling it
off?  How sticky is the adhesive between the cap and original dash?  Do
I risk pulling up chunks of foam when I remove the old cap?  Any advice
would be appreciated!
