Default How about this approach?

I'm thinking that I can start by removing all but the two troublesome gauges, then at the right end of the dash panel begin glueing the vinyl down all the way across the dash until I get to one of the two gauges with a non-removable capillary tube. Then I can pull the offending gauge free of the dash panel, and while holding the capillary tube near one side of the hole, press the vinyl across the gauge opening and cut around the opening as close to 360 degrees as I can, lift the vinyl back up, then force the gauge through the almost-complete hole in the vinyl, and then finish cutting the remainder of the hole? Will the vinyl stretch enough to do this? Then continue to glue it down across the dash 'till I get to the second gauge, repeat the process, and finally glue down all the way to the left side. The majority of the gauge holes that were covered-over could be cut out after the glue dries with an xacto knife?

I know this description is confusing - I know what I meant to say, but after reading the above, I'm not sure anyone else will know what I meant to say!
