Redoing the wood in mine, made blocks with holes drilled to take the tabs, and a block for the shiny side (a PITA unless you have a drum sander), cover the blocks with cling wrap (PL Premium won't stick to it)spread the glue on the metal and clamp for 24 hrs. Don't over do the glue, once cured it has to be cut off. It should be freeze / thaw stable, and is moisture resistant. (Lighter fluid and a razor blade scraper takes off the old adhesive from the metal, and the scraper will get it off the wood.)

My wife loves the ride, comfort and handling of the 300 (at least after I fixed the seats), just doesn't like a ratty interior, so WE (mostly SHE) decided to redo the cracked, loose, and 1 missing piece, set of trim.
Heat gun to remove what was left of the plastic coating, couldn't get rid of the stains and uneven fading of the zebrano, so sanded it all down and re-veneered it with red oak. (Gave some thought to staining the oak similar to the zebrano, but really liked it as is.)
She put 8 coats of urethane on, fine sanded between coats, 4-ought steel wool after #7, and I'm not sure how many coats of wax
