I had installed an overlay years ago and totally screwed up the holes but its a lot better than it was and hardly noticeable unless I point it out to you. The material was very brittle when new. Let me know so my next attempt goes better than the first one. Thanks in advance"

I just used drill bits - starting very small and in the center of each hole as best I could - and then gradually widened the holes until they were right. Obviously it is easiest to do this after the overlays are applied and while the bezel is still on the bench. Trying to measure and cut the holes in a fresh overlay sounds like an exercise in frustration to me. You don't have to be super-precise, just careful. and these overlays are not brittle at all, which may be what caused you to have the trouble with yours.

Now all of that said, why they don't have the holes in them to begin with is a head-scratcher for sure. Surely it would have cost nothing to include them in the original design. :rolleyes:

Anyway, good luck.
