Dash Tray Removal? WTF?

[underwhelmed]

I’ve been trying half an hour to remove the dash tray to install the Bulletpoint mount. I can get it to the point where I see the two blue tabs, but cannot get them to pop.

Anyone have experience with dash tray removal. I saw one thread. Tried everything in it with no success, I’m surprised I didn’t break it yet

You might, try harder!

Seriously, try this thread…..

I think @Floyd found that the key is to get a long screwdriver in where you see those clips and pry up from there. The post also shows the back of the tray, which might be helpful.

if you have a forked trim tool, that will help a lot too

You have to pull out the radio, then pinch the blue tabs from underneath and it'll pop right out .





Kidding of course

Got it finally! Just needed more force and some luck. Didn’t break anything.

One of the few times in my life where I didn’t break anything of drop some F bombs

With today’s plastic trim for everything on a car, you are very lucky if you do not break any clips.

Truly, you must be a wizard. I do wish to one day possess such power.

I installed mine yesterday and like you I thought here goes more broken clips but I too escaped the pain of breaking anything and the the install was went surprisingly smooth and the finished product is pretty damn cool

I wrestled mine out but getting it to seat back in was the PITA that I had.

Yep. Put mine on a few weeks ago and found that if you over-tighten the four base fasteners it will distort the tray just enough to bring out the f-bombs
