HELP! brand new repro CPO is delaminating while installing

What can i do at this point?

see the image where the protective layer has started to separate from the printed layer. This started while i was pealing the backing, and i only noticed when the overlay was partially attached. I think i need to remove it and get a new overlay, but are there any other options?

I've contacted the seller, but they may not be around until Monday.

Not much you can do. Hopefully the seller is a retailer that will replace the piece. I've had this happen with my qbert cpo.
 
You didn't by chance try to pull the CPO back up after applying it did you? That will separate the layers almost everytime.
 
Nope, it happened while only removing the paper backing. I noticed the piece inside the punched hole looked like this (when i removed the CPO from the box from the retailer), but didn't expect it to expand when i bent it to remove the backing. I installed several overlays by this retailer and have never seen this problem before.

The only time I have seen this, was with my Williams multi cpo from Phoenix Arcade. I had touched an area to the cp by accident and a very small piece pulled away before I caught it. Purely my fault.
