Removing the Cubby Display

Postby THERB3 » Sun Mar 13, 2011 9:29 pm

Guys I can't remove the Cubby display as I am scared of scratching my dash or the surroundings around the display.

Does anyone know how to budge this thing as it is pretty firm in place. Where do you grab the cubby without feeling that I am going to damage it ?

i used a bit of brute force. It should just pull out with a bit of effort.

From where do you pull from or do you use a screw driver from the top, sides, bottom ?

Pls explain......

Grab and pull from where ? Example hands within the cubby hole and pull out or grab it from the cubby door while it's open and pull towards you ?

grab and from the bottom lip , until it comes out a small bit, then grab from the top edge until that pops out, you can use a credit card or similar to get the initial grip on the bottom edge

Not sure if you have done this yet but my advise is DO NOT use a screw driver. Buy yourself a set of proper trim removal tools. You can get them for about $15 off of ebay.
