Default Trouble with cobra-style gauges install

Well i ordered some cobra style gauges for my instrument cluster and i'm having issues. i ordered them from LMR and i am not bad mouthing them at all, i'm just saying the gauges are iffy. they are going to send me a new set for free so this is not related to them at all, and i am very happy with their service. well the gauges have a cheap coating on them so when you peel the plastic off it tears the cover away, does anybody know any tricks to make the plastic not stick to the covering on the gauge faces? im going to test the lighting today, but so far it's not looking too good. i'll get pics as soon as possible, but i wouldn't spend my money on them again. any help would be appreciated. thanks

The only thing i would try to is take a heat gun and heat the plastic up a little bit-i use this to pull plastic off of metal,not sure it will work for your gauges.
