Title: Removing middle of dash where the stereo is
Post by: T_J_G on 29 January 2008, 08:52

How do I move the big surround around the radio/CD as I've bought one in better condition.

Had a go but can't see what's holding it in.

Sorry to sound pedantic, its a to torque screwdriver you need. Fuuny enough I had a quick look at mine at the weekend for 30 seconds when I was going to install my Ice then realised it was getting dark and didn't bother. It looked a pain.

when are you two having the civil partnership?

removing the centre cage, is a complete mission as you have to remove the trim from both sides, job for the weekend really, as you should take your time as quite a few pieces that can get broken easily
