Hi Dave, welcome to the Phorum!
I think your assessment is correct, the veneer needs to be removed completely. It is very difficult to veneer a curved surface. If using wood glue, the veneer needs to be clamped, something almost impossible to do with the curve. One option would be to use contact cement. The problem would be trying to get the veneer all the way into the groove in the front panel before it sticks to the wood. Another way is to use wood glue and activate it with a hot iron. The best solution would be to replace the wrap-around entirely. If you want to go that route, I can help. I will be sending a PM.
