Title: Help removing plastic trim around the stereo etc
Post by: blackviper90210 on 02 November 2010, 09:18:12

Good morning all,

Could anyone help me please? I'm trying to remove the plastic walnut effect trim around the stereo/heater system on the centre dashboard.
It's a facelift elite model, any advice would be gratefully received!

Thanks in advance, Dave   :)

First get the stereo out make sure you have the code , At the top of the hole were the stereo was  you should see 2 screws one on the left one on the right undo these you will also have to remove the ashtray thats secured by a single screw located right at the back in the middle then woooden facia will just pop off along with all the switches and climate panel   :y

Hi, can you help me to find the 7th facia retaining screw that should be somewhere in the middle, below the radio,etc.
I mean, according to Haynes Manual there is 7, but I can only find 6 !
Anyway , facia(I mean the Big Black One :) ,seems to come out rather hard, even though I dismantled everything around it, following Haynes step by step.

Now, there's this connector just behind the speedometer.
I suppose I am to push it backwards through that hole ,if I want to remove the Big Black Facia.
But that hole seems too NARROW !
