I purchased a wood grain panel insert for above the glove box area, but it's warped. Is there any way to straighten this out or have tips you can share? Maybe it will just straighten out when it's bolted to the dash?

Thanks
 
might striaghten out from bolting on, or you could carefully use a heat gun.
 
IDK. Got sail panels from Legendary 3 years ago. Found bubbles in them. Legendary is maling new ones at their expense and shipping. Got pix?
 
If the piece is supposed to be perfectly flat, I'd wait until the little women is out for the day and chuck it in the oven. Bring the temp up slowly and keep an eye on it. Once relaxed, bring the temp back down and it should stay flat. This will help keep the heat evenly distributed.

And while it's in the kitchen, weigh it down with a sack of rice while it cools. The weight will help it to flatten out.
