removing dash trim

Post by rodg98133 » Sat Sep 27, 2014 1:18 pm

I am wrapping the horrible wood trim. Have removed the centre console and the door strips but not sure how to remove the strips on the dash and the steering wheel trim.

Do a search too but dash trim prises off. Steering wheel will come off with 3 torx screws on the back of the S/W. Look behind it.

I got the dash bits off and done them. Just got the steering wheel and the flap above the cd player. Do I need to remove the airbag to get the trim off? Ive seen loads of guides on the facelift wheel but not pre facelift.

Remove the volume Knob, by pulling it off, there is a posi drive or small torq screw head underneath, to one side of the knob stem, 1/4 turn and the MID unit will pop out. Then 2 screws are revealed and the CD player comes out.
Then you can remove the flap, still got my silver one in the draw with the single slot CD player, as ,I fitted an aftermarket Headunit.
