How do you get the dimmer knob off the dash trim? I am replacing it and cant get it off. Or for that matter after you get it off, how does it get back on the new pice.

 

glue

 

super glue

 

double-posting without a merge......how'd you do that?!

 

You wanna take the knob off the housing. Or the whole thing off the trim?

 

it comes out from behind, so you'll have to remove the trim piece. just remember that when you're pulling it off, there's wire's attached to the back so you don't want to go nuts and yank the **** out of it. but once you take the dash trim off, and flip it over, it's pretty self explanitory how it comes out.

 

idk...network was goin haywire for a sec...must have misread it...either way i am the pioneer of the 2 post without merging

 

well, the whole trim, i know its just held in with clips but it is a pain.

I was just asking cause I couldn't figure out how to get the damn trunk release off that panel when I installed my voltmeter. I am going to paint my trim this weekend and wanted to know if it was as tough as the trunk pop.

 

did you read my post? once you take the trim off, it's cake.

 

Use a pry tool. It's shaped like an "L" and it's flat to pull out the trim. It's in pretty good so you'll have to use some force. It'll sound like you cracked it when it pulls apart. But it won't be

 

Ya, I did. I was just responding to another post.

ya, I have taken parts off, but not the radio trim or part with the dimmer. They kind of are a pain to get off. Thanks.

 

Yes they are. I thought I was gonna break it when I removed that. Just undo one end and you'll see how it clips

 

if you pull from the door side, and look underneat with a flashlight, you can see where the clips are. sticking a small flathead in where the clips are and prying out is much easier than trying to pull it off.

 

Ha ha what is this a battle to explain how to remove the trim to him. Ok ok you win

This is some funny ****

 

just giving some tips. first time i yanked it off, would have bet anything it was going to snap in half

 

Did it snap?

 

nope

 

I had the very same feeling when I took them off the first time.... (was going to swtich to light grey from dark)

 

Well there you go OP. You can pull it off.

 

I know how to get the trim off, its the dimmer knob, remember? ha.

PsshPlzz WTF?

 

What he said

 

It has little clips on the sides. You'll probably end up breaking a tab. I did. They're so thin and weak

 

ok! haha now that we have gotten that taken care of.... I am looking forward to the sat project. I am thinking of painting it flat yellow. So many are doing gloss thought it may look nice satin.

 

Need any help on taking off the information button on the other side?






















J/k. Have fun with ur project
