you can do it the easy way ie small flat screwdriver and try to move it upwards but tbh i would remove your side trim (of the centre section) and radio/cd player etc to leave just the cage and then remove that as a unit the side pieces can be pushed up and then pop out not to bad a job :smiley:

Post by: bobbarley on 14 February 2009, 00:33: I wondered if I'd he able to just pop the trims off or not.
Title: Re: Who's sprayed their walnut trim?
Post by: northeast_gti-t on 14 February 2009, 01:12: possibly but at the bottom of the trim piece it curves round and under :laugh: there isnt much room to lift as such iirc somebody(although i think not on here)has done it this way tbh i would remove trim etc and try it that way bob :wink:

i don't mind the wood trim either, but if you want to change your Knob you really need to match the trim.
